On Tuesday, a protest organized by the BJP Mahila Morcha outside the residence of Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Utkarsh Verma in Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, turned unconventional when Verma offered sweets and water to the demonstrators. The protest was a response to the SP's position on the Women's Reservation Bill, which aims to ensure women's representation in legislative bodies. Verma, while acknowledging the protest, stated that the BJP was misleading the public regarding the bill, which was passed in 2023. He urged the BJP Mahila Morcha activists to advocate for the immediate implementation of the 33% reservation for women. Despite a brief exchange of differing views, the protest ended amicably, with many BJP workers seen engaging with Verma and taking selfies.
