In a heated discussion during a special Assembly session focused on women empowerment, Ragini Sonkar (Samajwadi Party MLA from Machhlishahr, Uttar Pradesh) launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's government for its perceived inaction on women's safety. She listed numerous districts in Uttar Pradesh, including Hathras, Mathura, and Meerut, where crimes against women have occurred, questioning the CM's whereabouts during these incidents. Sonkar stated, “I am a woman of Uttar Pradesh. I am burnt every day,” criticizing the BJP's negative approach towards women's issues. She also pointed out that while BJP MLA Anupama Jaiswal received support from Akhilesh Yadav (the SP chief) after her injury, the Deputy Chief Ministers were late to respond. Sonkar further accused the BJP of using diversionary tactics in political debates, urging the government to focus on real issues rather than blaming historical figures. She highlighted the SP's commitment to women's empowerment, recalling how the previous government secured 33% reservation for women in local elections, contrasting it with the BJP's current inaction.
