Ahead of the session, the Congress leaders spoke to the media, presenting their opinions on the session. On one hand, LoP Umang Singhar termed it an unnecessary expenditure, while, on the other hand, PCC chief Jitu Patwari said that if BJP couldn’t bring 33% reservation for women, Congress's Rahul Gandhi would.

When asked LoP Umag Singhar about his views, he said, “Dekhiye sarkar vishesh satra bulati hai to kisi vishesh prayojan ke liye, kisi ko  uplabhi dena, kisi ko samman dena, kisi karyvayi ke liye…lekin sarkar chahiye hai ki sirf ninda prastav pass ho….to mujhe lagta hai ki ye uchit nahi hai kyuki lakhon rupaye kharch hote hain janta ke.

(Look, when a government convenes a special session, it is usually for a specific purpose - such as passing important legislation, honouring someone, or taking decisive action on a key issue. But if the intention is merely to pass a condemnation motion, then it doesn’t seem appropriate, especially considering that lakhs of rupees of public money are spent on such sessions.)”

(He added that the special session must come up with solutions and concrete decisions. The Congress's stance is absolutely clear that 33% women's reservation should be implemented on the existing 543 seats of the Lok Sabha.)”

He further concluded, “Does the BJP really want to give rights to women, or does it just want to indulge in condemnation and pretence? Today in the Legislative Assembly, “the milk will be separated from the water.”

PCC Chief Jitu Patwari

Regarding the same, PCC chief Jitu Patwari said that the government must implement Women’s Reservation with the same majority it was passed in the parliament in 2023.

He further added, “If women’s reservation is implemented across all 230 seats in Madhya Pradesh for the 2028 Assembly elections, the Congress party will support it. Similarly, if women’s reservation is applied to all 543 seats in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party will also support that.”

He also accused PM Modi of dividing the nation between ‘men’ and ‘women’ now.

He concluded, “If Narendra Modi brings women’s reservation in his tenure, Congress supports him. Otherwise Rahul Gandhi will win the next election and implement the same."
