US Edition"Symbol of anger against Opposition's anti-women behaviour": Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi during 'Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra'
The BJP said 298 MPs backed the bill and 230 opposed it, and women supporters joined the march to accuse the opposition of blocking reservation.
- On Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led the 'Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra' in Lucknow, protesting the Constitution Bill's defeat in the Lok Sabha.
- The legislation failed Friday to secure the required two-thirds majority, with 298 members voting in favor and 230 opposing it; Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam voted against the measure.
- Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and women supporters participated prominently; Mayor Sushma Kharkwal said 'For centuries, women have been demanding their share, and if the Prime Minister gives us our share, the opposition is opposing even that.'
- Following the defeat, the government withdrew two interrelated proposals: the Delimitation Bill, 2026, and the Union Territories Law Bill, 2026.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah intended to implement women's reservation by 2029; the Nari Shakti Vandan Act passed in 2023 with all-party support, but opposition parties opposed advancing the constitutional amendment.
