Women BJP MLAs held a protest in the Vidhan Bhawan complex before the one-day special session of Uttar Pradesh assembly, slamming the Opposition for defeating the passage of a bill, which would have led to the implementation of the Women's Reservation Law, in the Lok Sabha.

This followed another demonstration by Samajwadi Party MLAs, who alleged that the BJP was misleading public in the name of women's reservation.

The women BJP legislators assembled in front of Chaudhary Charan Singh's statue on the Assembly premises, holding banners bearing the slogan "Insult to Matrushakti (women's power), India will not tolerate it". The protesting members entered the main hall of Vidhan Bhawan carrying the banners.
