No justification for delay in implementing Women’s Quota Bill: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said there was no justification for a delay in the implementation of the women’s reservation Bill, for which the BJP government at the Centre was trying to find excuses such as the new Census and delimitation of constituencies. Mr. Gandhi said at a conference of Congress workers in Jaipur that his party wanted the women’s quota to be implemented “today itself”. “Reservation for women can be implemented in the Parliament and State Assemblies today itself, but the BJP government wants to postpone it for 10 years,” Mr. Gandhi said. Mr. Kharge, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Pradesh Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra, former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot and Congress Working Committee members Jitendra Singh and Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya also addressed the conference.
