Advocates of B'deshi infiltratorsdidn't allow bill to pass: Yogi
Lucknow, April 19 -- Calling the Opposition parties advocates of infiltrators, chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill 2026 in the Lok Sabha on Friday was an insult to women.
The amendment was defeated in the Lok Sabha on Friday evening as it failed to secure the two-thirds majority support. The bill was brought with the aim of fast-tracking 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies and expanding the strength of the Lok Sabha.
"Advocates of Bangladeshi infiltrators did not allow the amendment bill to pass. This is an insult to half the population of the country and mothers and sisters will not tolerate this," said Adityanath who addressed poll meetings in Matabhanga (Cooch Behar) and Dhupguri (Jalpaiguri). He also held a road show in Bankura.

He connected with the local people who responded enthusiastically as he raised slogans in Bengali, according to a press release issued here.
As he said in Bengali "Amar Sonar Bangla", the public responded "TMC Mukto Bangla". This was followed by a series of exchanges. He said "andhkaar", the public replied "hotbe", he said "surjo", the public replied "ugbe", he said "kamal", and the public replied "khilbe". He concluded by saying "paltaano dorkar", to which the public responded "chai BJP sarkar".
He said West Bengal was once the growth engine of independent India with the largest number of industries giving jobs to the people. But factories are now closing in West Bengal, he said, blaming the TMC for the prevailing situation. He said the TMC used to speak about mother, land and people (Maa, Mati, Manush), but the country witnessed its behaviour in Parliament, adding that people were not allowed to raise 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans in West Bengal for fear of government action and attacks by ruling party workers. He accused the TMC of appeasement politics and said it does not think beyond Muslims.
Later, when Yogi held a road show, the streets of West Bengal witnessed immense enthusiasm as people raised the slogan "Dekho dekho kaun aya, sher aya, sher aya." Throughout the roadshow, chants of 'Yogi-Yogi' echoed....
