Senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed strong disapproval of remarks made by Gujarat BJP President Jagdish Vishwakarma towards Banaskantha MP Geniben Thakor, labeling them as “shameful and insulting.” Priyanka Gandhi highlighted the BJP’s treatment of women in public life, criticizing the party for alleged contradictory behavior. She emphasized her support for Thakor, acknowledging her struggles and commending her bravery.
The controversy stemmed from Vishwakarma’s comments at an event in Banaskantha, where he made remarks that have sparked political reactions. Vishwakarma’s statement, made during a BJP gathering, has ignited a debate in the midst of national discussions on women’s representation in politics. The incident occurred against the backdrop of the recent failure of the 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, which aimed to expedite the implementation of 33% women’s reservation in Parliament.
