On April 29, 2026, the Delhi Assembly passed a resolution backing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government's initiative to empower women through a 33% reservation in Parliament and Assemblies. This resolution comes in response to the Opposition's recent defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, which aimed to redistribute Lok Sabha seats based on the 2011 Census to facilitate this reservation. The bill's failure is seen as a setback for the implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023, which seeks to enhance women's representation in legislative bodies.
