Moitra challenged the government’s claims of women empowerment.”This is a complete untruth. You delayed reservation in Parliament because you fear ‘naari shakti’,” she said.There are just 74 women MPs this time, with the BJP having only 30 out of 240. In contrast, the TMC had 37 per cent women MPs last time and 38 per cent this time, she noted.”While we have empowered three lakh ‘lakhpati didis’, the BJP seems focused on creating ‘arabpati dadas’,” Moitra said.On Kashmir, the TMC MP questioned the abrogation of Article 370.”If abrogating it was such a good idea, why did the BJP not field candidates in Baramulla, Srinagar and Anantnag-Rajouri? You downgraded Ladakh, and five years later, they are still waiting for inclusion in the Sixth Schedule.As a result, the Ladakhis relegated you to the third place” she said. Moitra also took aim at the Election Commission, accusing it of bias.
