Why was 2023 women’s reservation law kept in cold storage, asks Opposition after PM’s address
Opposition leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge (Congress president) and Ashok Gehlot (former Rajasthan Chief Minister), sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation, accusing him of violating the Model Code of Conduct by using official machinery to attack political opponents. They argued that the speech was partisan and aimed at discrediting the opposition ahead of upcoming Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. John Brittas (CPI(M) leader) demanded an apology from the Prime Minister for delaying the implementation of the women's reservation law, while Jairam Ramesh (Congress general secretary) called it a "partisan and polemical attack" and accused Modi of trying to manipulate the electoral map in his favor.
