NDA has Parliamentary strength to pass Delimitation and Women’s Reservation Bills this Monsoon session: Athawale
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale stated that the NDA has sufficient parliamentary strength to pass the Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bills during the upcoming Monsoon session. He dismissed concerns regarding reduced representation for Tamil Nadu as false propaganda.
Why it matters
These bills represent significant legislative shifts in Indian electoral representation and gender equality, making their passage a major political milestone.
The Women’s Reservation Bill and the Delimitation Bill will be passed in the Monsoon session of Parliament, Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale said in Chennai on Friday.
Mr. Athawale told journalists, though both the bills couldn’t be passed last time, in the upcoming Monsoon session, they will get cleared with a majority.
He said that the NDA now had more strength in the House and since the DMK has exited the INDIA bloc, Mr. Athawale hoped, there may not be a problem to pass the bills.
He said, Delimitation is done after several years and now many constituencies are big and concentrated and it becomes important to implement it.
