The Lok Sabha is set to vote today at 4 pm on three crucial bills: the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026; the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026; and the Delimitation Bill, 2026. These bills propose to increase the size of the Lok Sabha and allow for women's reservation based on the 2011 Census. A marathon 12-hour debate preceded the vote, with 251 members voting in favor and 185 against the introduction of the bills. Concerns have been raised by opposition leaders, particularly from southern states like Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, about the potential negative impact on their representation. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has attempted to reassure these states that their relative share of seats will increase as well. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for support from opposition parties, while leaders from the Congress and other parties have voiced their opposition, arguing that the bills undermine national integrity and would diminish the opposition's voice in Parliament. The Samajwadi Party has expressed support for the Women's Reservation Bill but criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party for its approach to women's empowerment.
