In a recent address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for failing to seize opportunities for development in India. His comments came after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which aimed to enhance women's representation in Parliament, was rejected in the Lok Sabha. Modi described the opposition's actions as 'bhrun hatya' or foeticide, claiming they undermined honest efforts to ensure equality for women. The proposed bill sought to increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 816 and allocate 33% of seats for women in state assemblies. Despite 298 votes in favor, the bill fell short of the required two-thirds majority, with only 528 members voting. Modi asserted that the opposition parties, including Congress, TMC, and DMK, are responsible for this setback and expressed confidence that women in India would respond decisively to these political maneuvers.
