The bill aimed to reserve 33% of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women, intending to enhance gender representation in Indian politics. Despite receiving more votes in favor than against, the bill did not achieve the required two-thirds majority for constitutional amendments, leading to its defeat.
