Conspiracy defeated: Priyanka Gandhi calls women's bill defeat a win for the Constitution

Priyanka Gandhi described the previous day as a significant victory for democracy, stating that the government’s conspiracy to alter the federal structure and weaken democracy was defeated and stopped. She highlighted visible unity among Opposition leaders and asserted that the ruling side faced a jolt, calling it a ‘Black Day’. She alleged that the BJP’s handling of women’s issues included an attempt to use women’s rights as a pretext to advance delimitation post the caste census, claiming the government would have pursued delimitation to suit its interests. Gandhi criticized the BJP’s portrayal as a protector of women, citing cases like Hathras and the treatment of Olympic medallists to illustrate perceived failures.

In the Lok Sabha, Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about the Congress' political prospects, saying the party will not be able to sit in the treasury benches for years, a claim the article attributes to his remarks about the Congress' mindset and the overall conspiracy to stay in power.
