In New Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced that the Delhi government will introduce a censure motion against the I.N.D.I.A bloc for obstructing the Women's Reservation Bill during the Lok Sabha session. A special assembly session is set for Tuesday to discuss the implications of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill 2026, which aimed to implement 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and raise its ceiling to 850 seats ahead of the 2029 elections. Gupta criticized the opposition for betraying women's hopes for representation. This bill's defeat marks the first significant setback for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance since it took power in 2014. Concurrently, security measures at the assembly are being bolstered following a recent breach where an individual entered the premises and raised security concerns. Enhanced protocols include regulated access through a single gate and increased on-ground security measures.
