During a special session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a fierce critique of the Samajwadi Party (SP) over its inconsistent stance on the Women’s Reservation Bill. He remarked that the SP's behavior would confuse even a chameleon, questioning why they demanded 33% reservation for women while opposing it in Parliament. Adityanath invoked the 1995 State Guest House incident, where former Chief Minister Mayawati was attacked by SP workers, to highlight the party's historical opposition to women's rights. He also criticized the Congress party for its past failures to support women's issues, including the Shah Bano case and the opposition to the triple talaq law. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya echoed these sentiments, predicting that both the SP and Congress would face repercussions in the upcoming 2027 Assembly elections for their obstruction of women's reservation. The assembly session was convened to discuss the importance of women's representation in politics, with other states like Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi also holding similar discussions.
