Ramchander Rao 'Not a Win, But a Black Day for Democracy'

Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao on Saturday criticised Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over her remarks on the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill, alleging that her stand amounts to blocking greater representation for women in Parliament. 

Speaking to AN, Rao termed Priyanka Gandhi's statement "disgusting" and said that, despite being a woman parliamentarian, she has taken a position that prevents common women from entering



Parliament.

"Priyanka Gandhi's statement is very disgusting. She, being a woman, and that to a woman parliamentarian, has today blocked the entry of the common woman into the Parliament. 

She has stated that it is a victory for democracy, but it is a black day for democracy," Rao said. He further alleged that the Congress leadership is not serious about increasing women's participation in politics and accused it of having a narrow, family-centric outlook.
