They said the same thing when the bill was introduced in the past.. The Center does not want to give reservations to women.. That’s why they are making changes.. They said delimitation after the census.. Now.. they are linking women’s reservations and delimitation.” Gaurav Gagoi alleged.

“The central government is hijacking the constitution. There are other reasons for this bill. We fully supported the women’s bill in 2023. We demanded its implementation from 2024. Why was the 33 percent reservation for women not implemented in 2024?” KC Venugopal questioned the centre.
