Mayawati urges government to remove provisions that delay implementation of women reservation

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 20 September 2023
BSP national president Mayawati has expressed concerns about the women's reservation bill, stating that it contains provisions that will delay women's reservation in Lok Sabha and state assemblies for at least 15-16 years. She believes that the bill is being used to gain votes in upcoming elections rather than with genuine intentions to support women. Mayawati has also called for a separate quota for women from SC, ST, and OBC communities. She criticized the Congress party for pushing for a separate quota for their own political gains.

The second phase of polling in Uttar Pradesh on April 26 holds high stakes for several prominent faces, including actress Hema Malini, actor Arun Govil, and former BSP leader Danish Ali. In the eight constituencies going to polls – Amroha, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, and Mathura – unemployment has emerged as a major concern, with youth expressing anger over recruitment exam paper leaks and lack of job opportunities. The BJP had won seven of these seats in 2019, with Amroha being the lone exception, where Danish Ali had emerged victorious on a joint BSP-SP-RLD ticket.
