On April 20, 2026, the Congress party condemned the Modi government's recent decision regarding delimitation, asserting that it was more about preserving Prime Minister Narendra Modi's political power than advancing women's reservation. They argued that the government's agenda is not genuinely focused on empowering women but rather on maintaining its own political dominance. In response, Congress called for the immediate introduction of a Bill to implement women's reservation based on the current strength of the Lok Sabha during the upcoming Monsoon Session or by the end of May. This statement reflects ongoing tensions between the ruling party and the opposition regarding women's representation in Indian politics.
