Rahul Gandhi doesn’t understand women because he is a bachelor: Gujarat BJP chief Jagdish Vishwakarma

He added, “The Congress is stopping India’s daughters from becoming self-reliant. The Congress has only used tribals as a vote bank for the past six decades, while the BJP Government is working in 52 talukas where tribals are in the majority. Under the Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana, South Gujarat has been gifted five new medical colleges, which will open new career doors for tribal youth. The BJP has worked on the issues in tribal dominated areas where drinking water and power supply for agricultural fields were major problems.”

Later, Vishwakarma took part in a series of meetings with BJP leaders and workers in Adajan, Katargam, and other areas of Surat.

Speaking at a public meeting in Surat, he said over 700 BJP candidates had won uncontested in the local body elections. The total number of seats won uncontested stood at 733, which is three times the number of seats won without an election in 2021, when the elections were last held to the same bodies.

The 131st constitutional amendment, meant to provide one-third women’s reservation in the Lok Sabha and the legislative Assemblies, fell short of the two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha.

During voting on the Bill, 298 MPs voted in favour of it and 230 against it.
