Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal ने 2029 के लोकसभा चुनावों से पहले महिलाओं की 33% आरक्षण का वादा किया

Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal ने घोषणा की कि 33% महिलाओं के आरक्षण का कानून 2029 के लोकसभा चुनावों से पहले लागू किया जाएगा, इसे एक लंबित Constitution amendment और delimitation exercise से जोड़ा गया है। लोकसभा सीटों को 850 तक बढ़ाने के लिए प्रस्तावित amendment bill ने आवश्यक दो‑तिहाई बहुमत हासिल नहीं किया, जिससे लिंग‑कोटा सुधारों को लागू करने में राजनीतिक और प्रक्रियात्मक बाधाओं का पता चलता है।
सारांश The Union Arjun Ram Meghwal (GS2: Polity)">Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal ने PTI को 28 May 2026 को बताया कि women’s reservation law 2029 parliamentary elections से पहले लागू हो जाएगा। उन्होंने इस कानून के कार्यान्वयन को एक लंबित Constitution amendment bill और एक आगामी delimitation अभ्यास से जोड़ा। मुख्य विकास Meghwal ने पुष्टि की कि women’s quota अधिक समय नहीं लेगा और 2029 के polls से पहले कार्यान्वित होने का लक्ष्य है। The amendment bill जो Lok Sabha की सीटों को 543 से अधिकतम 850 तक बढ़ाने का प्रयास कर रहा था, 17 April 2026 को असफल रहा, आवश्यक 352 वोटों से कम रहा। सरकार का तर्क है कि मौजूदा प्रतिनिधित्व को घटाए बिना 33% आरक्षण को समायोजित करने के लिए सीटों की वृद्धि आवश्यक है। Prime Minister Narendra Modi ने चेतावनी दी कि विपक्ष की अस्वीकृति महिलाओं से “severe” प्रतिक्रिया को आमंत्रित करेगी, इस मुद्दे को Nari Shakti Vandan के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। महत्वपूर्ण तथ्य • The Lok Sabha वर्तमान में 543 सीटें रखती है। प्रस्तावित वृद्धि 850 तक 33% महिलाओं के कोटा के लिए स्थान बनाने के उद्देश्य से थी। • The bill required a two‑thirds ma

Women’s 33% reservation hinges on constitutional amendment and delimitation before 2029 polls

Key Facts

  1. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced on 28 May 2026 that the 33% women’s reservation law will be in force before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
  2. The women’s quota requires a constitutional amendment to increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to a maximum of 850.
  3. The amendment bill was defeated on 17 April 2026, securing only 298 votes against the required 352 (two‑thirds of 528 voting members).
  4. Implementation of the quota also depends on a fresh census‑based delimitation exercise, which has not yet been undertaken.
  5. Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned that opposition to the bill could trigger a backlash from women, framing it as a ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ issue.

Background & Context

The proposal seeks to amend the Constitution (Article 368) to expand the Lok Sabha and reserve 33% of seats for women, linking it to delimitation based on the next census. It highlights the difficulty of achieving a two‑thirds majority in Parliament and the interplay of gender‑representation policy with electoral reforms.
