Maharashtra CM Fadnavis, Cong leader Chidambaram trade blame over women's reservation bill
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Congress leader P Chidambaram traded blame over the Women's Reservation Bill. This followed Rahul Gandhi’s call to smash patriarchy in Pune. Fadnavis said Gandhi should support the bill, but Chidambaram noted the Congress supported the 2023 law, calling the CM’s claim a result of fatigue.
