Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate has launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, accusing it of using the women’s reservation issue as a “political shield” to push a larger, allegedly divisive agenda.
Speaking at a press briefing in New Delhi, Shrinate claimed that the ruling party is “rattled” after the recent setback to the constitutional amendment bill in Parliament.
⚠️ Key Allegations:
➤ BJP using women’s reservation as a cover for delimitation plans
➤ Claimed government’s intent is not genuine women empowerment
➤ Alleged attempt to push “undemocratic and divisive” changes
🏛️ Background:
The controversy comes after a constitutional amendment bill aimed at:
- Expanding Lok Sabha seats

🔥 Political War of Words:
Shrinate also targeted Narendra Modi, saying:
- PM took Congress’s name 58 times in 30 minutes
- Called his address a “failed attempt” and “crocodile tears”
