Opposition parties in India are set to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the implementation of the 2023 Women’s Reservation Bill. This action follows the recent defeat of a Constitution amendment bill aimed at enhancing women's representation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The amendment, which proposed increasing Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850 to operationalize the women's reservation law, was supported by 298 members but failed to secure the required 352 votes for a two-thirds majority, with 230 MPs opposing it. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, condemned the government's bill as an unconstitutional maneuver to alter India's electoral structure. He emphasized that while the opposition supports women's reservation, they will not allow any unconstitutional actions. Gandhi called for the immediate implementation of the 2023 law, stating that the amendment bill's failure was a significant political setback for the Modi government.
