Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 11, 20230

West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been a significant player in Indian politics for decades. Her almost a decade-long term in office has been met with praise and criticism. Her treatment of the state's minority populations has been a frequent topic of criticism in political debate.

SHIVANI UJJAINWALSeptember 23, 20230

The Congress MP further said that the current version of the women's reservation bill was an effort by the ruling party to deflect attention away from the need for a caste census. Rahul Gandhi, a member of Congress, expressed regret on Friday over the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) administration's decision to omit an OBC quota from the women's reservation bill that was introduced to Parliament in 2010. At the time, the law had not been enacted by the Lok Sabha due to the non-inclusion of the sub quota, a demand made by groups like the RJD and the SP. At a news conference held at the Congress headquarters in Delhi, Gandhi acknowledged that if the sub-quota had been included in the UPA-drafted bill, the women's reservation policy would have been in place years ago. “100 percent…(w
