33% Women Reservation Bill Fails Floor Test Amid Opposition Demands

The proposed 33% women reservation bill, known as the Nari Shakti Bill, failed to pass the floor test amid opposition demands and controversy labeled as the '100 betrayal.' Key issues included the opposition's insistence on applying the quota to the existing 543 parliamentary seats rather than expanding them. Panel discussions on Times Now analyzed the reasons behind the bill's failure, the opposition's conditions, and potential future developments in the debate over women's reservation in India.
