The National Coalition for Women’s Reservation-Karnataka has called for the immediate implementation of the women's reservation Act, criticizing the government's decision to link it to future Census and delimitation processes. The coalition argues that this linkage places women's political representation on indefinite hold, despite the Act being passed in 2023 as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. Jyothi A. from the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) emphasized that the demand for women’s reservation has persisted for over thirty years, questioning the need for such conditions. The coalition highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised swift passage of the Bill after assuming office over a decade ago, yet it remains unimplemented. The women's reservation Bill, first introduced in 1996, faced multiple delays and was only passed in 2023, but its implementation is contingent upon the next Census and delimitation exercise. Recent efforts to expedite the Act through legislative packages have been unsuccessful, and the coalition has ramped up nationwide mobilization efforts, including petition campaigns, to advocate for the 33% reservation for women in Parliament and State Assemblies. Notably, the 2023 Bill only provides for reservations in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, excluding the Rajya Sabha and State Legislative Councils.
