"Think Women's Bill Can Be Implemented Today. I Wonder...": Rahul Gandhi | Read

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi spoke of an "incomplete" women's reservation bill as he joined a day-long discussion of the landmark debate on the proposed law. Mr Gandhi picked up where ex-party boss Sonia Gandhi and other opposition women leaders left off and also called for reservation (within the proposed 33 per cent) for women from other backward classes, or OBCs. The Congress leader acknowledged the bill as an "important step for the women of our country" but, like other opposition leaders, questioned provisions that mandate a delimitation and census before implementation, meaning the bill it will not come into effect before the 2029 election.
