Video: PM raps TMC over women's bill defeat, infiltrators in Bengal

Ahead of the first phase of polling in West Bengal, the Prime Minister launched an attack on the Trinamool Congress and the Congress party, accusing them of betraying the women of the state. Addressing a public gathering, the Prime Minister alleged that both parties conspired to ensure the failure of the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament, preventing women from securing thirty-three percent reservation. The Prime Minister claimed the ruling state party does not want women to become Members of Legislative Assembly or Members of Parliament as they challenge the current administration. Highlighting the national ruling party's focus on women's empowerment, the Prime Minister outlined several financial promises, including thirty-six thousand rupees annually under the Matrushakti Bharosa Card, twenty-one thousand rupees for pregnant women, and fifty thousand rupees for daughters' education. Furthermore, the Prime Minister accused the state government of breaking laws to benefit infiltrators and attempting to provide reservations based on religion, thereby undermining the Constitution.
