The Centre has tabled three bills in the Lok Sabha during a three-day special session that began today (April 16). These bills – the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026, the Delimitation Bill, 2026 and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment Bill), 2026 — are expected to cause a showdown in Parliament.
The opposition is up in arms over delimitation, which the government has linked to the implementation of reserving one-third of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and in the Legislative Assemblies of States and Union Territories (UTs). These bills aim to expedite the rollout of the women’s quota before the 2029 general elections.
