The Indian National Congress party is set to advocate for a 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha during the upcoming special Parliament session from April 16 to 18. Party leaders are concerned about the government's proposed delimitation exercise, which aims to increase the number of parliamentary seats by 50% in each state. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge emphasized that the real issue is not women's reservation but the government's attempt to push through the delimitation bill. The party plans to oppose this bill while supporting amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, which aims to enhance women's representation. Additionally, Congress is pushing for the inclusion of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) within the women's reservation quota. Any changes to the Lok Sabha's seat distribution will require a constitutional amendment, necessitating a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament and support from a majority of states. Congress leaders believe that the government's actions are an attempt to sidestep the caste census and prioritize delimitation instead.
