It's all a battle of perception... You may have managed to achieve what you need today. But, the bigger picture?? Is this the end??

Why don’t u ask the opposition why not allow the govt to make the amendment to the bill and then vote on it??
Why did opposition give up this opportunity??

BIG: So the AMENDED Women’s reservation bill fails the Lok Sabha test. NO two-thirds majority required. REPEAT: if there was genuine seriousness in making women’s reservation a reality before 2029 GE, then why not reserve 1/3rd in present Lok Sabha of 543. Or would the male MPs have not accepted it? (IMPORTANT: the Nari Shakti Vandan constitution amendment bill 2023 has already been passed. If serious, fast track that too!)
English
That’s foolish. That reservation cannot come into place until a delimitation is completed.

For clarity: Women Reservation Act, that is, 33% reservation for women is alive and in effect from 16.4.2026. All that Govt needs to do is to bring a Bill to identify and reserve those 33% seats among the existing 543 seats.

@balamy There are some talks on my tl about snap polls…

Sad day for India’s women who hoped to find themselves in the parliament or assembly.
English
@bseshadri Most likely only by 2034. A delay of 11 years for the women’s reservation to see implementation post passing of the bill.
And a natural disadvantage to the south and no scope of improving their representation
English
@bseshadri If an effort was not made by the govt to bring in amendment, the freeze on delimitation would lapse and automatic delimitation would happen as per the 2026 census as and when the data is published and a new parliament with new strength and women’s reservation will come into force
English
Voting delayed in the Parliament. Govt does not have the numbers?

My mother voted at home in Chennai in Tamil Nadu Assembly elections!
She has voted in almost all Parliament and Assembly elections since 1950s

This is the point @mosquitomani made yday.. The NDA Govt is under no obligation to pass this bill.. It can simply let the old act of 2002 expire later in 2026 and then automatically figures from the latest census will go towards delimitation commission...
Tejasvi Surya@Tejasvi_Surya
What happens if delimitation is delayed or not undertaken? If nothing is done, Articles 81, 82 and 330A will automatically trigger after the next Census, leading to the redistribution of the existing 543 seats purely based on population. Take Kerala, from 20 seats today, it could drop to 14 if seats are redistributed based on projected 2027 population. The Modi Government’s proposal ensures the opposite, protecting existing representation while increasing seats. This is a clear case of gain, not loss. Watch my comments in the Lok Sabha today.

@Starboy2079 That word was repeatedly used in the discussions yesterday including BJP’s Tejaswi Surya.
English
It appears that this post was written by someone in the USA and then sent to Rahul Gandhi to post from his account.
My guess is that it was written in George Soros’s office in New York.
The word "gerrymander" is typically used in US politics for delimitation. This word was coined by former US Vice President Elbridge Gerry in 1812.
The writer of this post was apparently not aware that this word is not commonly used in India and you can't expect the brain from Rahul Gandhi.

I would like to appeal to all Members of Parliament…
Please reflect upon your conscience, remembering the women in your own families.
The legislation to ensure women’s reservation in legislative bodies is a significant opportunity to do justice to women of our nation.
Please do not deprive our Nari Shakti of new opportunities.
If this amendment is passed unanimously, it will further empower the women of our country and strengthen our democracy.
Let us come together today to create history.
Let us ensure that the women of India, who are half of the nation’s population, receive their rightful due.

Parliament is discussing a historic legislation that paves the way for women’s reservation in legislative bodies. The discussions, which began yesterday, lasted till around 1 AM and have continued since the House proceedings began this morning.
The Government has addressed all apprehensions and misconceptions relating to the legislation with facts and logic. All concerns have been addressed and any gaps in information have also been filled.
For nearly four decades, this issue of women’s reservation in legislative bodies has been inordinately delayed. Now is the time to ensure that half of the nation’s population receives its rightful due in decision making. Even after so many decades of Independence, it is not right that women in India have such limited representation in this area.
In a short while from now, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge and appeal to all political parties to reflect carefully and take a sensitive decision by voting in favour of women’s reservation.
On behalf of our Nari Shakti, I also request all members not to do anything that may hurt the sentiments of women across India. Crores of women are watching us…our intent and our decisions. I once again request that everyone support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.

The delimitation topic that people in Tamil Nadu should be talking about
Sholinganallur has ~ 5.36 lakh voters
Harbour has ~1.16 lakh voters
Egregiously unfair! The disparity is stunning between the top and bottom deciles.
English
This makes me feel proud about the current leadership.
So should every Indian.
English
The leadership of this country has two choices in front of it:
1. To fix the issue or
2. Pass it on for a future generation to take care of it.
The country’s leadership has chosen to fix the issue for good.
English
As Modi ji @narendramodi said in his speech yesterday, the leadership of the country has an opportunity to fix a pending legacy issue which was passed to it from 2001 times.
Rajdeep Sardesai@sardesairajdeep
My take: if the Modi govt is serious about women’s reservation ahead of 2029 GE , simple solution: just amend Article 334 A and go back to the 2010 bill formula that provided one third seats for women from existing 543 seats. Doesn’t need a link with census or delimitation. Can be done tomorrow morning!!🙏

At some level, it definitely seems like India is destined for greatness.
Such a big conspiracy getting exposed before something nasty could happen… we must thank our stars!!
English
At some level this TCS controversy seems to be a deeper conspiracy to incite something nasty from within that would disturb the very secular fabric of this country.
English
Reading more and more about the TCS controversy, am convinced that India is a secular country only because it is a Hindu majority country.
