Prime Minister urges MPs to vote in favour of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment, Calls it Historic Opportunity

• Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam = Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, 2023 providing ~one-third reservation for women in Lok Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies and NCT Delhi Assembly.
• The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 sought to decouple this reservation from the post-2026 census and operationalise it via the 2011 census-based delimitation.
• PM Modi's 17 April 2026 appeal to MPs to vote in favour marks a flashpoint in the ongoing women-reservation-vs-delimitation debate — examinable across GS-I (society), GS-II (polity).
