“It’s my husband’s birthday, keep questions short”: Priyanka Gandhi
Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday gave a brief response when reporters asked about the Opposition’s stance on the Women’s Reservation Bill, saying, “It’s my husband’s birthday, keep questions short.”
Journalists had sought her views on the proposed legislation, which aims to reserve 33% of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The bill remains a key issue of debate between the government and the Opposition.
While the government has projected the measure as a significant step toward increasing women’s representation in politics, Opposition parties have raised concerns over its implementation timeline and clarity on execution.
Priyanka Gandhi’s remark stood out as a brief, personal aside during an otherwise serious political discussion surrounding a widely debated reform.
