Womens quota Bill still on table as Centre explores constitutional amendment before 2029 polls

A proposed constitutional amendment concerning women's reservation is under review by the Centre. This legislation builds on earlier proposals, addressing delimitation challenges with the goal of uniformly increasing the number of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Additionally, it seeks to reserve positions for women within the SC and ST quotas, which may pave the way for a women's quota in the 2029 general elections.
