In a recent session of the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor criticized the government's proposal to link women's reservation in legislatures to the delimitation of constituencies. He argued that this linkage effectively puts the aspirations of Indian women at risk, as it ties their political representation to a contentious process. Tharoor expressed concern that future delimitation might unfairly favor states with higher population growth, questioning whether effective governance should result in diminished political influence. He drew a parallel between the urgency of the delimitation proposal and the haste of the 2016 demonetisation, suggesting that both could lead to significant negative consequences for the country. Tharoor urged the government to reconsider this approach, warning that it could be seen as a form of political demonetisation.
