PM Modi says ‘women’s reservation won’t hit state representation’ as Congress questions timing
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that the 33% reservation for women in Parliament will be implemented from the 2029 general elections, with a special session of Parliament set for April 16 to discuss the roadmap. While the government says the move will benefit all states and empower women, the Indian National Congress has strongly opposed it, alleging that the proposal favours more populous states and could skew the federal balance.
