April 18, 2026 | New Delhi Opposition parties are preparing to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the immediate implementation of the women’s reservation law passed in 2023 by separating it from the delimitation process. Leaders argue that linking the law’s rollout to delimitation could lead to delays and have called for its enforcement without waiting for constituency reorganisation. The issue was discussed at a meeting held in New Delhi on April 18, 2026, where Congress president and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, chaired a gathering of floor leaders from parties aligned with the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc.
