- She called delimitation a constitutional process, criticizing Congress’s delay.
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut launched a sharp counterattack on Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi during a heated debate in Parliament over the Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill in the special session on Thursday.
The clash came after Priyanka alleged that the government was weakening democracy through delimitation. Responding to this, Kangana dismissed the claims, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not someone like Indira Gandhi who would “snatch power” or undermine democracy to stay in office.

Backing the Women’s Reservation Bill, Ranaut thanked the government and used a Bollywood reference to describe it, saying the message to women today is like “go live your life freely,” as barriers are being broken for daughters across the country.
She further criticized the Congress, accusing it of reacting negatively whenever something positive happens. Ranaut questioned the logic behind claims that democracy is under threat, arguing that Modi is a democratically elected and widely popular leader, making such allegations baseless.

On the issue of delimitation, Ranaut said it is a constitutional process that has taken place periodically in the past and is not driven by any one political party. She also took a swipe at Congress for delaying the Women’s Reservation Bill for decades, contrasting it with the current government’s pace of decision-making.
Ranaut concluded by supporting the Prime Minister’s urgency, stating that work left undone for 60 years is now being completed within a decade.
