Women Reservation Bill India: There was a heated debate in the Lok Sabha on the Women Reservation and Delimitation Bill. Amit Shah said that the 2029 elections will be on women’s reservation, while the opposition expressed concern over OBC representation. Politics has become more intense on this issue.
Politics was seen at its peak in the Lok Sabha on Friday during the discussion on three important bills related to Women’s Reservation Act and delimitation. There was a heated debate between the ruling party and the opposition, in which each side presented its own arguments. Responding to the debate, Union Home Minister Amit Shah clearly said that this entire issue should be looked at not just from the perspective of politics, but from the perspective of the Constitution and the future of the country.
‘No one opposed women’s reservation’
Amit Shah, in his reply, said that 56 women MPs took part in this debate and if anyone listens carefully to the discussion, he will understand that no one has opposed the basic idea of women’s reservation. Taking aim at the opposition, he said that the INDIA alliance’s opposition is actually about the implementation of the bill and not about the idea of women’s reservation. He said that this issue is being presented in a wrong way.

‘2029 elections will be on women’s reservation’
Amit Shah also gave a big political hint in his speech. He said that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections will be held on the basis of women’s reservation. This clearly means that the government is working towards implementing this law on time. He said that the amendments made in the Constitution need to be implemented within the stipulated time so that women can get their rights.
Opposition cornered on delimitation
The Home Minister also took on the opposition on the issue of delimitation. He said that opposing delimitation is actually opposing the rights of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. He also said that there are 127 such seats in the country where there are more than 20 lakh voters, due to which the balance of representation is deteriorating. In such a situation, delimitation is necessary so that the principle of “one person, one vote, one value” can be implemented properly.
50 years of blame on Congress
Taking aim at Congress, Amit Shah said that the country was deprived of delimitation in the last 50 years. His allegation was that the country did not get proper representation during the Congress rule, the effect of which is visible even today.
Opposition’s concern: issue of OBC representation
During this debate, the opposition especially expressed concern about the representation of the OBC category. He says that the current proposal may affect the participation of this class. The opposition has announced to oppose the government on this issue, which makes it clear that this debate may intensify in the future.
