Speculation Grows Over Women's Reservation and Delimitation Bills Ahead of Monsoon Session
Ahead of Parliament's Monsoon Session starting July 20, speculation surrounds the introduction of the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill and the Delimitation Bill. The Modi government previously fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass these constitutional amendments in April. Political shifts, including support from 20 rebel MPs from West Bengal, have altered numbers, but Union Minister Kiren Rijiju stated no formal decision has been made to introduce the bills. Some Congress MPs reportedly support the women's reservation but face party restrictions.
