The 27-year-long wait for parliamentary clearance for women’s quota in legislatures ended on Thursday as the Rajya Sabha unanimously endorsed the Constitution (128th Amendment) Bill 2023 that seeks to reserve one-third of seats in Lok Sabha and state legislatures.
The women’s quota bill – Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam – will automatically apply to assemblies of all states and UTs of Delhi and Puducherry.
