In this episode of ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, we take a deep dive into Women’s Reservation Constitutional Amendment Bill, which was defeated in the Lok Sabha on April 17, 2026.
Joining the conversation are Varghese K. George, resident editor at The Hindu, and Swapnil Tripathi, lead at Charkha (Centre for Constitutional Law) at Vidhi.
Together, they explain what the bill aimed to do and why linking it with delimitation and census data led to political disagreement.
The discussion also covers concerns over North-South balance, population-based seat redistribution, and parliamentary accountability.
