Chandra Babu Naidu on Saturday (April 18, 2026) stated that Congress and its allies betrayed women by preventing their entitlement to 33% seats in the assembly and Lok Sabha by defeating the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, and April 17 would be considered to be a black day in Indian history. On April 17, 2026, the Opposition defeated the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, which sought to redistribute Lok Sabha seats on the basis of the 2011 Census to expedite the implementation of women’s reservation.
