Women Reservation Bill | South vs Centre Debate Rekindled Over Women's Reservation, Delimitation
The debate over the Women's Reservation Bill intensified in Parliament, with Priyanka Gandhi accusing the government of using the bill as a cover to push constituency reorganisation ahead of the 2029 elections. She alleged that while Congress supports women's reservation in principle, the current framework is politically motivated. Responding to the concerns, Amit Shah rejected claims of bias, assuring that southern states will not lose representation and that their proportional share will remain intact even after seat expansion. The government maintained that delimitation will follow existing rules and no manipulation is intended, as the political debate continues to intensify.
