BJP Stages Protest Against Congress

Under the joint aegis of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) District Rajnandgaon and BJP Mahila Morcha, an effigy of the Congress party was burned today in front of Digvijay College. The protest was organized against the opposition shown by Congress to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act in Parliament.

A large number of BJYM and Mahila Morcha workers participated in the demonstration. During the protest, slogans were raised strongly against the Congress party and opposition leaders.

BJYM Leaders Criticize Congress Stand

BJYM District President Chintu Sonkar said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Nari Shakti Vandan Act was introduced to provide 33 percent reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, ensuring their empowered participation in governance.

He alleged that the Congress party had once again exposed its anti-women mindset by opposing the legislation. According to him, Congress never wants women to move forward and assume leadership roles. He further stated that the party has historically treated women merely as a vote bank and denied them their rightful opportunities. The Act, he said, was a historic step towards transforming women’s lives, and attempts to oppose it have angered women across the country.
