Even after the bill is pending in the Lok Sabha, women may get reservation in 2029. Understand what is the government’s plan-B:

News India Live, Digital Desk: A new turn has come in the country’s politics regarding the Nari Shakti Vandan Act. Even though after the recent developments, some technical hurdles are visible in the way of Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha, but the big news is coming out from the sources that it is almost certain that women will get 33 percent reservation in the general elections of the year 2029. The government is moving in this direction under a special strategy, which will make it possible for ‘half the population’ to get their rights despite the opposition.

How will reservation be implemented despite the obstruction of Lok Sabha?

There is discussion in the parliamentary corridors that even if there is a delay in reaching a consensus in the House on the bill, the government still has some constitutional ways in which the 2029 deadline will not be allowed to be affected. Experts believe that the government is preparing to implement this law by speeding up the process of census and delimitation. The government argues that the dream of developed India is incomplete without the participation of women power, hence it has been taken in mission mode.

The face of Parliament will change in the 2029 elections

If everything goes as per plan, the 2029 Lok Sabha elections will be historic. At present the number of women MPs in the Lok Sabha is very less, but once reservation is implemented, this figure can directly reach beyond 181. This will not only increase the role of women in policy making, but will also see a major social change in the politics of both rural and urban areas. The murmur of formation of Delimitation Commission has given further strength to this possibility.

What is the problem of delimitation and census?

‘Census’ and ‘redistricting of seats’ are the two biggest conditions for the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Bill. Opposition parties are continuously demanding that reservation be implemented immediately, while the government says that without data this process will not be transparent. According to the latest report, the government may soon start the process of collecting new census data, after which the Delimitation Commission will decide the quota of seats. This is the ‘Plan-B’ which will ensure reservation under all circumstances till 2029.

There is a stir among political parties, the equation of tickets will change

As soon as this news came out, all the major political parties started changing their strategy. If 33% seats are reserved in 2029, many veteran leaders may have to lose their reserved seats. This is the reason why now the parties have started bringing women faces forward in the organization and preparing them for the electoral field. In the coming days, the central government may make some more big policy announcements on this issue.
