Mamata says BJP’s ‘downfall’ has begun after women’s quota bill defeat; calls Centre a ‘minority govt’
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee claimed that the BJP's 'downfall' began after the Centre failed to pass the women's reservation bill, calling it a 'minority government'. Banerjee linked the defeat to a larger political decline and targeted the Centre's delimitation plan.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the BJP's 'downfall' began after the Centre failed to pass the women's reservation bill. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo claimed the Narendra Modi government was effectively in a minority. Banerjee addressed rallies in Uluberia and Baruipur ahead of the assembly elections, stating the BJP lacked a clear majority in Parliament. The Constitution amendment bill on women's reservation failed to secure the required two-thirds majority. Banerjee questioned linking women's reservation with delimitation, suggesting it masked a larger political agenda. She alleged the delimitation exercise aimed to weaken states like West Bengal. The TMC chief countered the BJP's narrative on women's empowerment, asserting her party had consistently championed the cause. Banerjee's remarks come as the TMC positions the 2026 West Bengal assembly elections as a crucial political battle with national implications.
