Centre's conspiracy to change federal structure defeated; victory of Opposition unity, says Priyanka
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress general secretary, declared the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill to implement women's reservation as a victory for democracy and opposition unity. She accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of attempting to manipulate the women's reservation law for political gain by linking it with delimitation plans. The bill, which aimed to increase Lok Sabha seats and state assembly representation through 33% reservation for women, failed to secure a two-thirds majority in the Lower House.
