The Indian government has signaled its intention to introduce a significant piece of legislation concerning women's reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the Rajya Sabha would reconvene soon to discuss this 'very important bill' within the next 2-3 weeks. This announcement follows ongoing consultations with opposition parties regarding the proposed legislation. Rijiju emphasized the government's commitment to fulfilling its promise of women's reservation, stating that they are dedicated to addressing this issue. However, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has urged the government to hold an all-party meeting after the assembly elections, which conclude on April 29. The proposed legislation also includes measures to potentially increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from the current 546 to 861, a move that has raised concerns among opposition leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, who warned of the significant long-term implications of such changes.
