Abstract

The article focuses on Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav's criticism of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding amendments to the Women's Reservation Act, 2023. Yadav accused the BJP of reducing women ("nari") to mere slogans ("nara") and alleged that the government is using these amendments and the push for early delimitation to delay the Census. He questioned the representation of women within the BJP and its parent organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), as well as the number of women chief ministers in BJP-ruled states and Union territories. Yadav emphasized the Samajwadi Party's consistent support for women's reservation and gender justice. [Extracted from the article]
