Finally women’s reservation bill might become reality with UPA’s cabinet having already approved the bill which will be presented before rajaysabha and loksabha anytime soon.
What Is Women’s Reservation Bill :
The bill if becomes reality will ensure that 33% seats are reserved for women in loksabha and state assembly elections.
Who Are Supporting The Bill :
For a change left , right and congress all are in same lines on this issue. Communist and BJP are with congress in this issue and would support the bill
Who Are Opposing The Bill :
Lalu’s RJD who made rabadi devi as chief minister of Bihar, BSP who has mayawati as its head and chief minister of uttar pradesh , SP and JDU are opposing the bill
Why Are They Opposing The Bill ? :
The above mentioned parties want reservation within the reservation. They want reserved seats for backward classes from this 33% seats
Obstacles In Getting Bill Passed :
UPA backed by BJP and LEFT won’t have any problem in getting bill passed in loksabha but rajyasabha is where they would face difficuly
Is Bill Needed? :
Ofcourse it is. Our 48-49 % population are woman . Woman representation and increase in their numbers in parliament and assembly is needed and would be great for democracy.
Would Bill Change Anything ? :
In short terms , No. In long term Yes. To get into politics is never easy , secondly getting ticket , fighting elections and winning is tough task. It requires large network , money and many other things. So initially this bill would most likely be used by parties to take their own relatives, admirers , kins into politics but in long run this bill would serve purpose it intends to.

Sorry I disagree with the point of having Reservations. Many women will be standing in elections by the pressure of others and not thier active interests. Women will act as katputli by their husbands or other strong relatives. Why dont we live on the basis of equality??? Why are these politicians always for some or the other reservations for vote bank politics?
Please try and understand public “We are in a DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, where equality is a base.” We need to understand every politician is favouring one particular group for their improvement. Why cant we have improvement and development as a whole UNITED COUNTRY? Women alone are also not going to do any miracles. It is the wish and will that people have to carry ahead about development.
Aren’t women given freedom to fight for elections now? What big difference will this bill make for the good of women? If something good is to be done, remove all these reservations atleast from the urban areas to bring EQUALITY in its REAL SENSE.
you have made some important points specially the katbutli one. You are right , initially this bill would be only for wives,daughters , daughter in laws of politicians and their parties.
now coming to equality point , we would write about this on our another post tomorrow..
