Sonia Gandhi on delimitation and women’s reservation
- On Monday, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi criticized the upcoming special Parliament session, arguing the real issue is "extremely dangerous" delimitation that poses an "assault on Constitution" rather than women's reservation.
- Parliament convenes from April 16 to 18 to amend the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' for implementation by 2029; Sonia questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi took 30 months for this "U-turn" before convening the session.
- Sonia alleged the Centre aims to delay the caste census, claiming the Prime Minister is being "economical with the truth" to derive political advantage and place the Opposition on the defensive.
- Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge previously demanded reservation implementation starting with the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, while Sonia criticized the session's timing during assembly polls in four states.
- Characterizing the Prime Minister's approach as "one-upmanship" and "my way or the highway," Sonia noted that while he now announces caste census support, he previously criticized the measure.
