Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the opposition after three key bills failed in the Lok Sabha. These included the Constitution Amendment Bill, the Delimitation Bill, and the Union Territories Amendment Bill. Speaking at a Cabinet meeting, Modi said the opposition would “pay a price” for not supporting the women’s reservation move. The government failed to secure a two-thirds majority needed to pass the bills. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju called it a missed chance for reform. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi said the defeat was a “victory for democracy” and accused the government of trying to weaken democratic values.
