What Happened
The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 failed to pass in the Lok Sabha after the INDIA opposition bloc denied the government the required two-thirds majority. Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the bill, claiming it was an unconstitutional attempt to link women's quota implementation to 2029 elections and delimitation, rather than immediately empower women. The final vote was 298 in favour and 230 against.
