On Tuesday, the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar stated that the women's reservation bill was another "jumla" (false promise) of the Modi government, as it would not come into force at the time of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done another 'jumla' in the new building of Parliament," said Wadettiwar, a Congress leader, in a social media post.
