Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the opposition INDIA bloc for their opposition to the Nari Shakti Vandan Amendment Bill, calling it an 'unpardonable sin' against women's dignity. During a press conference in Lucknow, he expressed that the opposition's behavior reflects an anti-women mindset and has generated resentment among women across the country. Adityanath asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) stands united with women and will not tolerate any obstruction to women's leadership. He highlighted that since 2014, the NDA government has introduced several initiatives aimed at empowering women, including the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme, which aims to improve the child sex ratio and prevent female foeticide, and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which has built four crore houses nationwide. Adityanath also noted that the number of women personnel in the Uttar Pradesh Police has increased significantly since 2017. He accused the opposition, particularly the Samajwadi Party, of failing to support meaningful reforms and prioritizing personal interests over public welfare, thus missing the opportunity to support a historic reform for women's representation in Parliament.
