Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday said the electoral losses of parties and their leaders, including Mamata Banerjee and M K Stalin, were due to their opposition to the women's quota bill in Parliament.

Gupta, accompanied by national BJP president Nitin Nabin and Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva, among others, paid obeisance at the Kalibari temple in CR Park here, after the BJP's massive victories in West Bengal and Assam polls.

"All the parties and their leaders who opposed the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, whether DMK's Stalin or Mamata Banerjee or Arvind Kejriwal, are finding it difficult to answer to the people," Gupta told reporters.

All major opposition parties, including the Congress, AAP, TMC and DMK, voted against the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, that sought to "operationalise" women's reservation before the 2029 general elections by linking it to delimitation and increasing the number of Lok Sabha seats to 816. Gupta, the only woman chief minister in all of the BJP-ruled states, also campaigned for the party ahead of the West Bengal Assembly polls.

She said the "historic mandate" received by the party in the state is a "turning point" for the country's politics.

The BJP secured a decisive majority in the 294-member West Bengal assembly by winning 207 seats, ending Mamata Banerjee-led TMC's 15-year rule in the state.

"Women of Bengal rejected fear and chose good governance," Gupta said, adding that the politics of appeasement was "defeated in the state by development and nationalism".

The parties that opposed the Bill in Parliament have been "decisively rejected" by the women of Bengal, the Delhi chief minister said. "The mothers and sisters of Bengal have sent a strong message through their votes," she added.

The Bengal victory represents the success of policies focused on women's dignity, safety and empowerment, she said. Despite an "atmosphere of fear and intimidation", people in the state voted fearlessly and played a key role in strengthening democracy and establishing a government committed to good governance, Gupta said.

Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for the saffron flag "flying high from Gangotri to Gangasagar", Gupta said the result clearly reflects the growing faith of the public in the politics driven by development and nationalism.
