Will sanghis please do us a favour and use their brains for once? While the Parliament is indeed full of misogynists on both sides, the women’s reservation bill was rejected by the opposition because it was linked with the delimitation bill, which could have severely reduced the political power of the southern states. This is of course advantageous for the BJP, whose voterbase is mostly concentrated in the north. They claim to stand for Indian unity, and yet seek to weaken those who do not come from northern India. And do you really think the BJP, the party that regularly releases rapists from prison, stands for women’s rights? Au contraire, the women’s reservation bill could have been passed if the BJP hadn’t unnecessarily linked it with the undemocratic delimitation bill to their benefit; they did so because they did not want their male members to lose seats due to the 33% reservation for women in the existing seats. And now the BJP, misrepresenting everything as always, masquerades as a saviour of women’s rights. The party that allied with the likes of Prajwal Revanna in the 2024 election, the party that happily backs sexist godmen with rape allegations, the party whose members constantly pass sexist comments, the party that has not done ANYTHING for the women of Manipur, which has been burning for years, the party that constantly oppresses Muslim, Dalit, tribal and many other women, has the AUDACITY to claim to stand for women’s rights. But they are not fooling anyone for long. People are seeing through their lies.
