The Women's Reservation Bill was defeated in Lok Sabha after the government failed to get a special majority in the Parliament. Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan reacted to the same, but his comments did not sit well with actor Prakash Raj.
Pawan Kalyan said the opposition blocked the bill, but Prakash Raj responded, 'Please stop lying to citizens just to please Modi. Women's reservation bill was approved in 2023 itself.' He also accused Pawan Kalyan's party of wanting to pass the Delimitation bill, which would weaken the representation of South Indian states.
Prakash Raj challenged Pawan Kalyan for a debate to explain his stance. The 2023 Women's Reservation Act still stands, and the government will have to bring a delimitation bill if the law is to be implemented.
