What Happened
Opposition parties have raised concerns about three BJP-led NDA government bills proposed during the Budget session: women's one-third reservation, expanded legislative seats, and delimitation. While welcoming women's reservation, critics argue delimitation based on outdated census data risks ignoring demographic changes. They demand transparent consultation and consensus-based decision-making rather than unilateral action on matters of national importance.
