State Assemblies Pass Resolutions Urging Implementation of Women's Reservation Bill

Several state assemblies, including Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Tripura, have passed resolutions urging the Central government to implement one-third reservation for women in Parliament and state legislatures following the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha. While ruling parties like the BJP and its allies support the move, opposition parties such as the CPI(M) and Congress have expressed reservations. The Biju Janata Dal criticized the BJP for linking women's reservation to increasing legislative seats, calling for immediate implementation of the existing Women's Reservation Act without delay.
