During a meeting with BJP workers in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya criticized the Congress and Samajwadi Party for their opposition to the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Amendment) Act, 2023, which aims to reserve seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies. Maurya argued that this opposition showcases a 'male-dominated mindset' and undermines women's equal participation in national development. He warned that these so-called 'anti-women' parties would face public anger, especially among women voters, in the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Maurya asserted that the SP would be 'wiped out' in the 2027 elections, while Congress would see a significant reduction in its representation by 2029. He called on party workers to emphasize the opposition's stance on women's rights during the forthcoming by-election in Ward 48, Alopibagh, Prayagraj, highlighting the importance of women's reservation.
