The 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill, aimed at reserving seats for women in India's Parliament and state assemblies, failed to pass in the Lok Sabha, garnering only 298 votes in favor against the required two-thirds majority of 352. The government subsequently withdrew two additional bills, including the Delimitation Bill.

• 01The women's quota bill failed to secure the necessary votes in the Lok Sabha.
• 02The bill aimed to reserve 33% of seats for women in legislative bodies by 2029.
• 03A total of 528 members voted, with 298 in favor and 230 against.
• 04The government withdrew two other bills following the failure of the women's quota bill.
• 05The proposed changes would have increased Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850.

The failure to pass the women's quota bill means continued underrepresentation of women in legislative bodies, delaying potential policy changes that could benefit women in governance.
