On Thursday, the Indian government introduced key amendment bills to operationalize the Women’s Reservation Bill, which was passed in 2023. The proposed Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 aims to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850, with 272 seats reserved for women, ensuring political justice. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal stated that all states will experience a 50% increase in representation, translating to 815 total seats in the Lok Sabha. The government also introduced the Delimitation Bill, 2026, which will readjust legislative assembly seats. While the opposition parties, including the DMK and AIMIM, support the women’s reservation initiative, they have expressed concerns over the rapid introduction of the bill, fearing it may undermine India's federal structure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address the Lok Sabha regarding these developments.
