Constitutional Amendment Bill for Women's Reservation Fails in Lok Sabha
The Constitutional Amendment Bill for women's reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was put to vote in the Lower House on April 18, 2026. However, it failed to get the required two-thirds majority, with 298 MPs voting in favour of the bill. The bill aimed to implement one-third women's reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The failure of the bill is a setback for the women's reservation movement in India. The bill's failure is expected to have a significant impact on the country's politics, particularly in the areas of women's empowerment and representation.
