Tripura Assembly backs Women’s Reservation Bill push as CPI M Congress oppose bid

Opposition challenges motives even as one third seats planned

The Tripura Assembly passed a motion urging the Centre to reintroduce the Women’s Reservation Bill. While the ruling BJP and allies backed the move, CPI(M) and Congress opposed it. The proposal seeks to reserve one-third of seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies, with lawmakers sharply divided over how it should be implemented and the politics behind it.
