Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, criticized parties opposing the Women’s Reservation Act amendment bill for their lack of achievement. Following the bill’s failure in the Lok Sabha, he expressed concerns about potential negative impacts on the South due to delimitation based on the 2026 census. Y. S. Sharmila Reddy, Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president, accused the BJP of using women’s issues as a cover for pushing illegitimate laws.
Andhra Pradesh Congress leader, Y. S. Sharmila Reddy, clarified that the failed bill was related to delimitation, not the Women’s Reservation Bill itself. She emphasized that the Opposition did not oppose the Women’s Reservation Bill and urged the BJP to implement the 33% reservation across all parliamentary seats without delay.
