Women’s Reservation Bill: How numbers stack up in Lok Sabha and what delimitation could change
Parliament is set to debate the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, aiming for 33% women's reservation in legislatures.
This constitutional amendment, passed in 2023, will be implemented after delimitation based on the 2027 Census.
While the government champions women's empowerment, opposition raises concerns over the delimitation process and its potential impact on state representation, creating a north-south divide.
