Congress dubs women's reservation bill election jumla, huge betrayal of women's hopes

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 19 September 2023
The Congress party criticized the women's reservation bill brought by the government, calling it an "election jumla" and a betrayal of women's hopes. The bill states that the reservation will only be effective after a Census and delimitation exercise. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh questioned whether this will be done before the 2024 elections, highlighting that the government has not yet conducted the 2021 decadal Census. The government introduced the bill to reserve one-third of seats in Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, aiming to increase women's participation in policy-making.
