Congress didn’t just “oppose” the Women’s Reservation Bill in 2026, it sabotaged it the moment implementation became real. Let’s be clear: this is not new. This is a pattern. 📜 The track record: * 1996: The Women’s Reservation Bill was introduced under PM Deve Gowda ji. The government depended on Congress support. Congress ensured it never became law. * 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003: The NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee brought the bill FOUR times. Each time, Congress support was critical to secure a 2/3rd majority. Each time, Congress blocked its passage. * 2010: Despite this history, the BJP supported the UPA government to pass the bill in the Rajya Sabha. But when it came to the Lok Sabha, Congress got cold feet. The bill was never brought forward. Once again, it was sabotaged. * 2023: The Modi government passed the Women’s Reservation Bill. With a clear majority, Congress had no option but to support it, a pro forma endorsement when obstruction was no longer possible. So what changed in 2026? Everything. The 2023 law pushed implementation to after the 2026 Census and delimitation, effectively delaying it to 2034 or beyond. Congress was comfortable supporting a promise that lay far in the future. But the 2026 proposal changed that. It mandated implementation in the 2029 elections. That’s when the truth came out. The moment women’s reservation became immediate and real, Congress and its allies moved to stall it yet again. So let’s not be misled by statements or posturing.

India is open. India is ready. Through #SamudraManthan, we are turning uncertainty into opportunity and data into discovery to power India’s energy future and our quest towards energy aatmanirbharta under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. At today’s Data-Led Exploration Conference, we sent a clear message: data must be seen, shared, and scaled. India is moving beyond blind exploration and is embracing a bold multi-client model where more eyes unlock greater value. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @Secretary_MoPNG @PIB_India @ONGC_ @ongcvideshltd @OilIndiaLimited @DghIndia @PPACIndia @BPCLimited @EngineersIND @gailindia @HPCL @IndianOilcl @IGLConnect @PetronetLNGLtd #Data @investindia @transformIndia @makeinindia @_DigitalIndia

From blind exploration to data-driven discovery, India is ready. At today’s Data-Led Exploration Conference, we reaffirmed a simple truth: exploration succeeds when knowledge is shared, not siloed. By welcoming a robust multi-client data ecosystem that allows more minds to interpret, innovate, and discover, India is decisively changing how E&P has been considered a sector of uncertainty. The more eyes on the data, the greater the possibilities beneath our seas. With #SamudraManthan, we are unlocking India’s vast offshore potential with openness, collaboration, and cutting-edge science under the decisive and visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @Secretary_MoPNG @PIB_India @ONGC_ @ongcvideshltd @OilIndiaLimited @DghIndia @PPACIndia @BPCLimited @EngineersIND @gailindia @HPCL @IndianOilcl @IGLConnect @PetronetLNGLtd #Data @investindia @transformIndia @makeinindia @_DigitalIndia

Deeply shameful! Congress, DMK, SP, AAP & TMC not standing with #NariShaktiVandanAct Blocking 33% women's reservation for petty politics. Where is your commitment to women empowerment now? Nari Shakti deserves better than this hypocrisy.

Utterly shameful for Congress, DMK, SP, AAP & TMC! They supported #NariShaktiVandanAct in 2023 but now refusing to vote for its timely implementation. Putting narrow political interests & delimitation drama above empowering 50% of India's population. History will remember who stood with Nari Shakti and who didn't.

Today, we take another decisive step towards Nari Shakti! Our government is committed to empowering women in every sphere. The amendments to the Women Reservation Bill will ensure greater representation for our sisters in Parliament & Assemblies. Let us all unite to make India's democracy more inclusive & vibrant : @narendramodi Ji Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 #NariShaktiVandan #WomenReservationBill #EmpowerWomen

India’s energy Maharatna @BPCLimited achieves a bold stride in offshore engineering which reflects India’s growing Aatmanirbharta in fuel logistics in our journey towards energy self-sufficiency under the visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. In a demanding inter-tidal zone, where tidal windows constantly shift and precision cannot falter, BPCL completed a 10-inch x 2.3 km Offshore Sea-to-Land Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) pull under the Mumbai-Rasayani Pipeline Project, marking one of India’s first offshore HDD crossings of this scale. This achievement reflects the energy PSU’s commitment to advancing technical capability, enhancing infrastructure resilience, and delivering complex projects with precision, safety, and operational excellence. Kudos to Team BPCL! @PMOIndia @PIB_India @PetroleumMin

Driving innovation, advancing affordability, and accelerating India’s journey towards a sustainable energy landscape under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. Green Hydrogen prices fall by 15%, reaching ₹279/kg (~$3/kg, excl. taxes). Setting a new global benchmark for affordability as Green Hydrogen becomes more cost efficient, the path toward a cleaner, self-reliant energy future grows stronger. #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @PIB_India
