Atishi alleged that the BJP is not interested in the well-being and welfare of women.

"A closer reading of the provisions of the bill shows that it is 'Mahila Bewakoof Banao' bill," she said. RJD spokesperson and MP Manoj Jha said it is not clear if the women quota under the Narishakti Vandan Adhiniyam will come into force from the 2029 or 2034 Lok Sabha polls, wondering if the government is serious or committing a "fraud".
