'Shouldn't be considered failure of govt ...' Rijiju on women's reservation bill not clearing LS
The government faced a setback as the women's reservation bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha, requiring a two-thirds majority.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju blamed the Congress and opposition parties, calling it an anti-women stance and a significant blow to the nation.
The opposition, while supporting reservation, opposed its linkage with delimitation and census.
