The new parliament of the country is now going to praise women power. The official name of the bill which
provides for 33 percent reservation for women in the lok sabha and assembly is the Constitution (128th
Amendment) Bill 2023, but prime minister Narendra Modi has named it Nari shakti Vandan Act. This bill was
introduced in the lok sabha on tuesday (19 September). With the kind of numerical strength that bjp has, it is
expected that the bill will not only be passed in the lok sabha, but there will be no obstruction in the Rajya
Sabha as well.
In such a situation, the biggest question is whether this bill will be implemented and if yes, when and how will
it be implemented? Will the law be implemented in the five states where assembly elections are held or will it
be implemented during the 2024 lok sabha elections. Or we will have to wait a longer time for this.
Call it the Constitution (128th Amendment) Bill 2023 or the Nari shakti Vandan Act and or the Women’s
Reservation Bill. It has been presented in the Lok Sabha. In such a situation, what will happen if this bill is
passed in this special session of parliament and becomes law? Will this law be implemented immediately? Will
there be assembly elections in five states and then lok sabha elections after the implementation of this law?
Will this law affect the upcoming assembly elections in five states and then the lok sabha elections?
The answer is no. Actually, the answer lies in this bill itself, which has been introduced in the Lok Sabha. In the
bill presented by Law minister Arjun ram Meghwal in the lok sabha, it has been made clear that this law will
not be implemented until the census and delimitation is done.
Delimitation will happen after census
Delimitation will take place after the census data is published and only then the Constitution Amendment Bill
2023 will be implemented, which will be valid for the next 15 years from the date of implementation. This
means that the census of the country will be conducted first.
