O'Brien also refers to an alleged remark by then-Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adiyanath, reported in media, opposing women's reservation bill in 2010 -
"Air-conditioned room people in Delhi cannot decide public policy. This bill will drown the Indian political system if it goes through. If men develop feminine traits, they become gods, but if women develop masculine traits they become demons… Western ideas of women’s liberation should be properly analysed in the Indian context."
O'Brien: This was said by current CM of Uttar Pradesh. You can build a new building, but you must change your mindset first.
