Kangana Ranaut Criticises Rahul Gandhi Over Parliament Speech on Women’s Reservation

Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following his speech in Parliament on the Women’s Reservation issue.

Reacting strongly, Kangana said that listening to Rahul Gandhi was “a headache” and accused him of trivialising Parliamentary proceedings.

Rahul Gandhi’s Criticism of the Government

During his address in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi criticised the government’s proposed legislation related to implementing women’s reservation, particularly linking it to the Delimitation process.

He argued that the bill:

• Does not genuinely empower women
• Is instead an attempt to reshape India’s electoral landscape
• Could delay real representation by up to a decade

Concerns Over Caste Census

Rahul Gandhi also claimed that the government is trying to bypass the caste census, which he believes is crucial for fair representation:

• He argued that representation in Parliament and state assemblies should be based on caste data.
• According to him, the current proposal avoids linking reservation to caste demographics.

Allegations Against the Government

Gandhi further accused the ruling government of attempting to:

• “Rejig” India’s political map to retain power
• Follow patterns seen in regions like Jammu & Kashmir and Assam

He warned that such steps could have long-term political consequences.

Opposition’s Stand

As Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi made it clear that:

• The opposition will resist the current version of the bill
• They are willing to support an immediate implementation of women’s reservation through earlier proposals like the Nari Shakti framework

Political Face-Off Intensifies

The exchange highlights growing tensions between the BJP and Congress over:

• Women’s reservation
• Electoral reforms
• Representation of marginalized communities
