Supreme Court Lauds 92% Voter Turnout & Lack Of Violence In West Bengal Elections |@DebbyJain #SupremeCourt #WestBengal #BengalPolls #SIR #ElectionCommission livelaw.in/top-stories/su…
Women representation can be increase even with the current situation. Just make 33 percent constituencies across the state “multi-members”. Through the lottery process identify 33 percent seats and make these “multi-members” where an additional woman candidate would get elected.
Lucky to be a journalist. A long career in media has taught me that in politics don’t believe anyone, anything at any time. 1- Why should we believe that @BJP4India was desperate to pass the bills? Politicians can shape the event in a certain manner just to register the point. They may not want to take the event to its logical conclusion, as we may think. 2- Why should we think that @kcvenugopalmp was serious in his offer? He may be,he may not be. Also, when @AmitShah accepted his offer of 50% uniform increase in seats what makes us think that he was not knowing that Venugopal can’t make such decisions all alone in his party? 3- Why should we believe the leaders of opposition when they said that they will support the bill that enables right away implementation of 33 pc reservation for women in current parliament of 543 seats? Why don’t we think that they were damn sure that it’s not legally possible right now (without census and delimitation) and they believed that even @BJP4India will never do it so let’s send across offer that sounds sincere? 4- Why should we believe at all that the MPs, who voted in favour or against the bill, were having conviction in their respective stand? Of course, not. All had to follow their party line. We all understand why so much resistance in some MPs. Why are we not noting that many BJP MPs would have been upset if the NDA had won? Who wants a massive change in combination of castes and community to face in his/ her constituency? Who wants redrawing of talukas and districts which have been pampered at cost of millions of rupees? So many talukas will get a new PIN codes , many will be divided and so many new socio-political clusters would be formed. And, who wants a change that’s arriving without guarantee of winning! 5- Why should we believe some Southern politicians who are recklessly raising non existing issue of division within India? Are they serious? Do they want their own country’s Uttar Pradesh to not have fair representation with 240 million population? @narendramodi is attempting to be on the right side of the new emerging power block. #Mahila votes! Let others not miss the train.

If number of seats in both Lok Sabha and State Assemblies are to be increased by 50% across all States, what will be the use of Census 2011 data then ? To increase the seats 50% across the board, no need for any census data. Maybe, Census 2011 data will be used to redraw the constituencies ? - the devil is in the details.
