Rahul Gandhi walks the talk on Women's Reservation Bill

Congress President Rahul Gandhi has written to Chief Ministers of Congress and Congress led alliance governments in the states to pass a resolution in their next session to reserve one third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and Legislative Assemblies for women.

In a letter written to, Rahul has stated, “In order to affirm our support to the passage of the (Women’s Reservation) Bill, it would be expedient for the State Assembly to pass a resolution calling for the reservation of one-third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and legislative assemblies for women, in the next session.”

Rajya Sabha passed the Constitution 108th Amendment Bill in 2010. However, the Bill lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014. The Legislative Assemblies of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have already taken a lead and passed a resolution calling on the Central government to enact the Women’s Reservation.

Mahila Congress president Sushmita Dev had also written to all Congress-led state governments, regarding Women’s Reservation Bill vide her letter dated 23 November, 2018.
