‘Let’s See Who Is Anti‑Woman In A Vote’: Priyanka Gandhi’s Challenge To Govt Over Women’s Quota New Delhi: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday challenged the Narendra Modi‑led government to reintroduce the original Women’s Reservation Bill as passed in 2023, saying the opposition is ready to support it and demanding that Parliament test in a vote who is “anti‑woman”. Her remarks came a day after the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty‑First Amendment) Bill, 2026, tied to women’s reservation and delimitation, failed to cross the two‑thirds majority in the Lok Sabha during the special Parliament sitting. “Bring Old Bill, Hold Parliament On Monday” Talking to reporters ahead of the final day of the special session, Priyanka Gandhi urged the Centre to immediately table the earlier version of the Women’s Reservation Bill that had received broad political consensus. “They (Centre) should bring the old women’s bill, the one which was passed by all parties, immediately on Monday. Hold Parliament on Monday, bring the bill and let’s see who is anti‑woman. We will all vote and support you,” she said. She dismissed the 2026 bill’s failure as a “Black Day” for the BJP‑led NDA, arguing that the real intention was to run away from the promise of women’s reservation once the census was completed. “They wanted to run away from the promise of women’s reservation after the census was done,” Priyanka Gandhi added, reiterating that the Congress stands for 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies without linking it to delimitation or demographic exercises. Political Standoff Over Delimitation‑Linked Bill The confrontation centres on the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty‑First Amendment) Bill, 2026, which sought to reserve one‑third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women but tied the quota’s implementation to a fresh delimitation based on the next census. The bill could not secure the required two‑thirds majority in the Lok Sabha, with 298 members voting in favour and 230 opposing it. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla then announced that the Constitution Amendment Bill had not been passed. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government would not proceed with the remaining two interlinked bills after the setback. The BJP has accused opposition parties of blocking a historic reform aimed at ensuring 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies. Union Home Minister Amit Shah alleged that parties like the Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC) and others prevented the passage of the bill and warned of political consequences. However, the opposition has maintained that it supports women’s reservation in principle but opposes linking it with delimitation and census processes. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi described the 2026‑style bill as an attempt to alter India’s electoral structure, while several Congress leaders characterised the vote as a defence of democratic and federal values.
