Nitin Nabin, the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), launched a strong critique against Opposition parties, suggesting their resistance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi is perceived as opposition to women, whom he referred to as 'aadhi aabadi' (half the population). In an interview with Rahul Joshi of Network18, Nabin stated that the Women's Reservation Bill was not passed unilaterally but was the result of numerous discussions with various political factions, asserting that the government sought to build consensus before proceeding. He quoted Modi's remarks in Parliament, where the Prime Minister acknowledged the Opposition's role in the bill, indicating a desire for collective ownership of the legislation. Nabin also addressed concerns regarding delimitation, asserting that the legal framework for the process was established during the tenure of previous Opposition parties, and accused them of politicizing the issue. He warned that the Opposition's strategies risk alienating key voter segments, positioning women's representation as a central theme in the BJP's political outreach.
