Rijiju, Rahul trade barbs over women's quota bill rollout

Union minister Kiren Rijiju called on LoP Rahul Gandhi to back the women's reservation bill during their exchange. In response, Rahul Gandhi noted that the 2023 bill had already received unanimous approval. He raised concerns about the holdup in implementing the legislation and its connection to the delimitation proces

The Congress already supports the women’s quota legislation, the Opposition leader says; he asks why implementation had been held up for three years and unnecessarily linked to delimitation, adding, ‘Implement the 2023 law. Without any conditions.’
