Central Government Prepares Special Parliament Session To Pass Women's Reservation Bill

The central government is preparing to convene a special session of Parliament to pass the <b>Women's Reservation Bill</b>. BJP sources indicate the government is confident of securing the required majority, expecting 15 to 18 votes more than the threshold needed for the constitutional amendment. To pass this bill in the Lok Sabha, 361 votes are required. The proposed amendment aims to increase the total number of Lok Sabha seats to 850 and provide 33 percent reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies. The government intends to implement this law before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections to ensure greater female representation in legislative bodies.
