ADaylight after the BJP-led NDA government's composition (131st Amendment) greenback failed the Parliament try — it sought-after(a) to hasten the implementation of 33% women's quota in legislatures — Tamil Nadu's ruling party Dravida DMK proposed a private member's bill instead. This bill proposes to implement the 33% reservation from the very next election, on the existing 543-seat Lok Sabha, without any seat-increase, delimitation, or census data new or old.The bill, by DMK MP Wilson, is any Opposition party's most direct legislative response so far to the BJP's charge that rival parties blocked women's reservation altogether. But both Houses were adjourned, hence the bill could not be taken up for now.Delimitation questionThe women's quota was originally passed with almost all-party support in 2023; the question now was over a “hasty” delimitation being proposed based on the old, 2011 Census data, without addressing larger questions of regional distribution of seats and caste sub-quotas, Opposition leaders have pointed out.The DMK bill proposed to amend the Constitution to make women's reservation operative immediately. That would be in the Lok Sabha, state assemblies, and the union territory assemblies of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir, without increasing the total number of seats and without waiting for a census or delimitation.Unlike the government's 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, which limited reservation to 15 years, the DMK bill also seeks to make the reservation permanent.The DMK served a notice to the chairman of the Rajya Sabha under Rule 267, requesting suspension of the day's business to facilitate an immediate discussion on women's reservation without delimitation or census.
