What Happened
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav accused the Union government of rushing the women's reservation Bill without proper consultation. He alleged the government aims to implement 33% women's reservation before the 2027 caste count results, ahead of 2029 elections. Yadav questioned why delimitation proceeds without updated Census data, arguing the caste count should factor into such legislation.
