50% govt jobs reservation for women The Constitution (106th) Amendment Act marks the BJP's great betrayal of women. The Amendment Act contains sinister provisions that will allow the reservation of seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies to come into operation only beyond 2029. Congress will delete the sinister provisions and bring the Amendment Act into force immediately.

We have enacted the long-awaited Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. We will systematically implement this to ensure representation for women in the Parliament and State Legislatures.

The Constitution (106th) Amendment Act marks an important step toward women's empowerment and political representation.
