Modi Pushes for Women's Reservation

Modi Pushes for Women's Reservation

The bill's implementation is controversially linked to a future delimitation process based on the 2027 Census, a move the opposition has labeled a 'political demonetization.' Critics argue that linking the two processes could delay the reservation for years and potentially disadvantage southern states.

Prime Minister Modi assured that no state would face injustice during the redrawing of electoral boundaries.

The debate in the Lok Sabha has been heated, with 251 members supporting the constitutional amendment while 185 remain opposed to its current framing.
