Smriti Irani Exclusive: Slams Akhilesh, Backs PM’s ‘Guarantee’ On Women’s Quota & Delimitation

In this explosive exclusive, Smriti Irani hits back at Akhilesh Yadav’s “saas–bahu” jibe and says a “jobless dynast” cannot understand what working women face. She asks why Congress, despite 6 decades in power, never gave 33% political reservation to women, backs PM Modi’s “guarantee” to fast-track implementation by 2029, and defends linking women’s quota to a fair, census-based delimitation so every vote has equal value.
