NDA stands firmly with the anger of women in Uttar Pradesh against Congress and INDIA alliance: Yogi Adityanath<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucknow, April 2026 : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath strongly criticized the Opposition for obstructing the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Amendment Bill in Parliament. He stated, the act of the INDIA alliance is not only against women\u2019s dignity but also an \u201cAkshamya Paap (unpardonable sin)\u201d that the women of the country will never forgive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He remarked, “The celebrations and irresponsible comments by Opposition parties after the bill\u2019s failure reminded the nation of the painful episode in Indian history when Draupadi was disrobed in a royal court.” Calling it unfortunate for both democracy and women\u2019s dignity, he said this conduct exposes the anti-women mindset of the Opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing a press conference at the BJP office in Lucknow, “The Chief Minister said, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office in 2014, he clearly stated that the country recognizes 4 primary categories: the poor, youth, farmers and women. Those who nurtured politics of caste divisions for personal gain found this vision a challenge. Therefore, every progressive reform introduced under the Prime Minister\u2019s leadership has faced resistance from Congress and its allies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister noted, the Opposition\u2019s behaviour in Parliament has generated deep resentment among women across the country. This anger is directed at Congress and its allies including SP, RJD, TMC and DMK, who collectively obstructed reforms meant for societal progress.
He said, the INDIA alliance repeatedly acted as a barrier to initiatives aimed at empowering all sections of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further explained, “The Nari Shakti Vandan Act was passed in 2023. When women\u2019s and social organizations demanded its implementation by 2029 instead of 2034, the Prime Minister responded by introducing an amendment after consultations. Concerns raised by some states about potential loss of representation were addressed with assurances that no state\u2019s share would be reduced, and additional seats would be created to ensure 33% reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister emphasized that the government intended unanimous passage of the amendment to grant women their rightful representation. However, the behaviour of Opposition parties during the debate, he said, resembled a deliberate disruption, preventing consensus on a crucial reform for women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also criticized the argument raised by some parties regarding reservation for Muslim women within the bill. He stated, such demands contradict the spirit of the Constitution, recalling that during its framing, religion-based reservations were rejected by leaders including Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to the Shah Bano case, the Chief Minister questioned the silence of those now advocating for Muslim women\u2019s rights. He pointed out that when the central government enacted a law banning triple talaq, the same parties opposed it, revealing their inconsistency and double standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister stated, “Despite decades in power, Congress and its allies failed to introduce meaningful reforms for women, farmers, youth or the poor. In contrast, since 2014, the government under Prime Minister Modi has worked inclusively with the guiding principle of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting key initiatives for women, he mentioned Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, which aims to improve the child sex ratio and prevent female foeticide. Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana and Mission Indradhanush have strengthened maternal and child health, leading to reductions in mortality rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Uttar Pradesh, the Chief Minister Kanya Sumangala Yojana provides financial support from birth through education, offering a total benefit of \u20b925,000. Currently, 26 lakh girls are benefiting from this scheme. He also noted, “Under the Ujjwala Yojana, 11 crore families nationwide, including 1.90 crore in Uttar Pradesh, have received LPG connections, significantly improving women\u2019s health and dignity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, 12 crore households have been provided toilets under the Swachh Bharat Mission, enhancing sanitation and women\u2019s dignity. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 4 crore houses have been built nationwide, including 65 lakh in Uttar Pradesh, offering secure housing to women and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister highlighted, “Under the Gharouni scheme, ownership documents have been provided to 3 crore rural families, with over 1 crore in Uttar Pradesh, primarily in the name of women. Additionally, Ayushman Bharat provides health insurance coverage of \u20b95 lakh to 50 crore people, including 10 crore in Uttar Pradesh.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted, “Under the Basic Education Council, 1.90 crore children are receiving uniforms, school bags, books and sweaters. The Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana provides \u20b91,00,000 assistance for marriage, benefiting over 6 lakh daughters so far. More than 1.06 crore destitute women, elderly and differently-abled individuals receive \u20b912,000 annually as pension. In employment, over 9 lakh government jobs have been provided in Uttar Pradesh in the past 9 years, including nearly 1.75 lakh women. The number of women personnel in UP Police has increased from 10,000 before 2017 to over 44,000 today.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister stated, over 1 crore women are associated with self-help groups and are achieving economic independence. Initiatives like Lakhpati Didi, BC Sakhi and women-led milk producer programs in Agra, Lucknow, Varanasi and Gorakhpur are strengthening rural livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, under the One District One Product initiative, 96 lakh MSME units are operational, with women forming nearly half the workforce. Uttar Pradesh also has over 21,000 start-ups, with more than half led by women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister concluded that while women\u2019s representation in Parliament is at its highest, efforts to raise it to 33 percent and beyond were obstructed by Opposition parties. He said these parties missed an opportunity to support a historic reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He criticized the Samajwadi Party, stating that it failed to rise above its past and contribute constructively. He asserted that such parties prioritize personal and family interests over public welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister reiterated, Uttar Pradesh fully supports the leadership and vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said the NDA stands united with the women of the state, who are angered by the Opposition\u2019s conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He urged women across the country not to accept such anti-women behaviour, emphasizing that empowering women leads to progress in education, health, nutrition and economic independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He concluded by saying, “Any attempt to obstruct women\u2019s leadership will not be tolerated, and the NDA will firmly support women in their pursuit of rights and dignity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
