What Happened

The Women's Reservation Bill, introduced in 1996, faces implementation from 2029 after three decades of delays. All parties voted for it in September 2023. The government assures no state will lose Lok Sabha seats under delimitation. Congress previously supported the bill but now opposes the timeline. The 2011 Census forms the basis for the exercise. OBC sub-quota concerns require separate consideration.
