New Delhi: The budget session of Parliament will resume from April 16 to pass a bill to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 816.The government is considering introducing at least two bills, including constitutional amendments, in the current session of Parliament to implement reservation for women in one-third of the seats in the next Lok Sabha elections and subsequent assembly elections.The move promises to change the country’s political landscape and put an official seal of approval on PM Modi’s much-touted agenda of women empowerment as the campaign for the four state assemblies gathers pace. If the government gets its way, the number of seats in the Lok Sabha will increase by 50% to 816 from the current 543, with an increase of 273 seats set aside for women, ensuring that existing political dynamics and outgoing MPs, the majority of whom are men, will not be set loose due to a new size order. According to this, the majority figure will reach 409.According to news agency PTI, both houses will reconvene for two or three days to consider the proposed law.Speaking in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the House will meet again soon to consider a major legislation.Rijiju said, “We have some bills and important issues and we have shared it with the opposition also. We are going to bring a very important bill in the next two-three weeks.”For the first time in five decades, the strength of the Lok Sabha will increase. There will be no impact on the strength of Rajya Sabha and Legislative Councils in the states. At least two bills will be brought, one on delimitation and the other to amend the Constitution, which will require two-thirds support in both houses.Although the ruling NDA does not have the strength to get the bill passed on its own, the government seems keen to get it passed during the budget session ending on April 4. Failing that, he is open to the idea of ​​calling a short session specifically for the women’s quota.Home Minister Amit Shah is leading the effort to garner support for both the bills and held two meetings on Monday, one with regional parties from the non-NDA block, which includes opposition parties and those separate from any alliance (NDA or India block), and the other with allies of the BJP.
