Modi seeks support across party lines for women reservation rollout

NEW DELHI, Apr 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday sought the support of political parties to ensure the rollout of the quota. Meanwhile, the BJP has issued a whip directing its lawmakers to be present from April 16 to 18 for the special sitting of Parliament aimed at expediting the implementation of 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
The Nari Shakti VandanAdhiniyam was passed in 2023, with its implementation contingent upon the completion of the ongoing census and a subsequent delimitation exercise. 
On Wednesday, the Union Cabinet cleared the introduction of two bills during a special session to facilitate the rollout of the quota implementation ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, along with the constitution of a delimitation commission.    �"Z NEWS
