During a session in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the amendments aimed at expediting the women’s reservation in legislative bodies by 2029. He reassured lawmakers that the proposed increase of 50% in Lok Sabha seats and the delimitation based on the 2011 census would not lead to discrimination against any group. Modi responded to concerns from the Opposition regarding potential loss of political power for Southern states, asserting that proportional representation would remain unchanged. He emphasized the need for a 33% quota for women in Parliament and state assemblies, framing it as a necessary step to rectify historical injustices against women in decision-making roles. Modi called for unity among political parties to pass the bills, stating that the legislation would benefit the country's democracy rather than any individual or party. He highlighted the growing political consciousness among women at the grassroots level and urged that the implementation of the quota should not be delayed beyond 2029.
