Prime Minister Modi urges Parliament to implement Women's Reservation Act ahead of 2029 elections. The government has called a special three-day parliamentary session to pass amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, enabling women's quota in Lok Sabha and state assemblies from the next general elections. The act will increase Lok Sabha seats to 816, with 273 reserved for women, representing 33 percent reservation. Without these amendments, the women's quota would not have taken effect until 2034 following the 2027 Census delimitation exercise. Modi's letter to floor leaders emphasizes the need for unified parliamentary support to pass these critical constitutional amendments before 2029 elections.
