NCP Working President and MP, Supriya Sule, criticized the Central Government for delaying the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Bill. Sule questioned the reason behind the delay in providing 33% representation to women, despite the Bill being passed in 2023.
She emphasized that the Women’s Reservation Bill was unanimously passed in 2023, yet its implementation is still pending in 2026. Sule urged for immediate action to grant women the promised reservation within the existing parliamentary seats.
Sule expressed disappointment over Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ remarks accusing the Opposition of being “anti-women.” She challenged Fadnavis to a debate on the issue and highlighted the historical significance of Maharashtra in providing reservation for women.
Sule reiterated the demand for 33% reservation for women within the current parliamentary seats and criticized the government for its lack of action despite verbal commitments. She also questioned the necessity of a recent three-day Parliament session amidst ongoing state elections and escalating crises in West Asia.
