Congress “anti-women”, amended Constitution to help “family”: Sitharaman in Rajya Sabha

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said the Congress party carried out major amendments to the Constitution to brazenly help the “family” and the “dynasty”.

She also termed the Congress party as “anti-women” for not passing the Women’s Reservation Bill under pressure of its coalition partners.

Initiating the discussion on the ‘Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India’ in the Rajya Sabha, the senior BJP leader said the economic policies of the previous Congress governments for about 50 years did not strengthen the Indian economy.
