During a recent visit to Firozabad, Brajesh Pathak (Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh) accused the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress of colluding to block the amendment to the 2023 women’s reservation law, known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. He stated that their actions aimed to deprive women of their rightful quota in governance, asserting that voters would hold both parties accountable in the upcoming elections. Pathak claimed that the opposition's resistance reflects a fear of empowered women who would no longer tolerate local crime and corruption associated with the SP. He highlighted the BJP's efforts to support women's rights and criticized the previous SP government for creating an unsafe environment for women. Additionally, he addressed healthcare during his visit, ensuring that patients received proper care and feedback on services provided at a local medical college.
