BJP's downfall has begun: Mamata on NDA failing to pass bill to give women quota from 2029

HOWRAH (WB): (Apr 18) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said the BJP's "downfall" has begun after the Centre failed in the Lok Sabha to pass a Constitution amendment bill to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in legislatures from 2029.

Addressing a poll rally in Howrah's Uluberia, Banerjee claimed that the BJP had been "defeated" and was surviving in office only with the support of its allies.

"The BJP's downfall has begun. We have defeated the BJP. They have been humiliated. They do not have a majority on their own. They are sitting in power with the support of others," she said.
