Constitution Amendment Bill, part of delimitation package, defeated
The Opposition defeated a Constitutional Amendment Bill that aimed to redistribute Lok Sabha seats based on the 2011 census to expedite women's reservation. The bill, which received 298 votes in favor and 230 against, fell short of the two-thirds majority needed for passage. Union Home Minister Amit Shah argued that the bill was necessary to address population growth and uphold the "one person, one vote, one value" principle.
