Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticized the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for missing an opportunity to deliver development ahead of polls.
In a video address, PM Modi lashed out at the Opposition over what he claimed was the “bhrun hatya” or foeticide of Centre's "honest attempts" at providing equality to women through the women's quota bill.
The bill aimed to increase Lok Sabha seats to 816 from the current 543 to "operationalise" the women's reservation law before the 2029 parliamentary polls.
However, the ruling BJP-led alliance could not muster the required two-thirds majority, with 298 members voting in its support and 230 MPs voting against it.
PM Modi accused parties like the Congress, TMC, SP, and DMK of being the culprits of this foeticide and said the women of our country will give a befitting reply to Congress and its allies.
