The Congress party has accused the Modi government of reversing its stance on the women's reservation law, alleging the move is intended to deflect attention from governance failures. The government plans to implement the law before the 2029 polls, despite earlier insisting on waiting for the completion of the Census and delimitation exercises.
The Indian government has proposed changes to the women's reservation law. The law provides for 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The government now wants to implement the law before the 2029 polls. The opposition claims this is a U-turn, as the government had earlier refused to implement the law without completing the Census and delimitation exercises. The proposed changes involve redrawing constituencies using 2011 Census data. The Lok Sabha will be expanded from 543 seats to 816, with 273 seats reserved for women.
