In a significant rally at the NSCI Dome in Worli, Mumbai, the Mahayuti coalition aimed to support the Women's Reservation Bill but notably lacked participation from the Shiv Sena (Shinde) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) showcased a strong turnout, with thousands of female party workers attending in support of the bill, which seeks to provide 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis claimed the rally marked the start of the BJP's efforts to unveil the opposition's alleged anti-women stance, pointing to historical opposition from the Congress party towards women's reservation initiatives. However, the rally faced public criticism when a motorist confronted BJP leaders over the traffic chaos caused by the protest, highlighting a disconnect between political objectives and public inconvenience. Opposition leaders, including Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal, accused the BJP of using women's empowerment as a political tool while asserting that the INDIA alliance has successfully thwarted attempts to alter the Constitution under the guise of women's reservation. The rally underscored the ongoing tensions between political parties regarding women's rights and representation.
