Women’s Reservation Bill being used for electoral gains, alleges CPI(M) State secretary
V. Srinivasa Rao, CPI(M) State secretary, criticized the Union government's handling of the Women’s Reservation Bill, alleging it is being used for electoral gain. He argued that the bill was delayed by the Centre citing delimitation and census concerns despite the CPI(M)'s request for implementation during the 2024 elections. He also raised concerns about land acquisition for projects and corporate educational institutions' high fees. Lokanatham, a member of the CPI(M) Central Committee, joined Rao in demanding compensation for farmers who lost land due to industrial projects.
