TMC's Abhishek 'Defeat Of Delimitation Bill Exposes BJP''s Discomfort'

TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee asserted that the fallout from the defeat of the delimitation bill in the Lok Sabha has exposed the BJP's "discomfort" in full public view. Banerjee, considered number 2 in the TMC hierarchy, on Friday said that the NDA government must immediately act to implement women's reservation.

The Constitution Amendment Bill to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in



legislatures in 2029 and increase the number of Lok Sabha seats to 816 was defeated in the lower house of Parliament on Friday.

In a post on X, Banerjee said, "The fallout from the defeat of the Delimitation Bill in the Lok Sabha is exposing the BJP's discomfort for all to see." Referring to the development in the Lok Sabha, Banerjee said the bill was rejected by the opposition INDIA bloc over concerns about fairness.
