The Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament, is preparing to vote on three critical bills, including the Delimitation Bill 2026, which aims to facilitate the implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (Women's Reservation Act) passed in 2023. Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized that the representation of southern states will not decline with the implementation of the women's quota, projecting an increase in Lok Sabha seats from 129 to 195 in these states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support for the women's reservation, stating that no state would be discriminated against during the delimitation process. However, opposition leader Priyanka Gandhi criticized the government's intentions, alleging that the bill is a tactic to manipulate constituency boundaries for electoral gain. The Lok Sabha was adjourned and will reconvene on April 17.
