In a major political setback, the Women's Reservation Bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha after the government fell short of the required two-thirds majority needed for a constitutional amendment.

The outcome marks a significant moment in Indian politics, with both sides likely to leverage the issue ahead of upcoming elections.
