Why Opposition may not back women’s quota changes: Delimitation, caste census concerns

What Happened

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi criticized the government's hurried approach and lack of consultation. The INDIA bloc will decide strategy at an April 15 meeting. Issues include sub-categorization within women's quota and fears delimitation could be misused for political purposes.
