West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday accused the BJP-led NDA government of using the proposed amendment to the women’s reservation law as a cover to push the Delimitation Bill, which she claimed could “break the country into pieces.”
Addressing a party rally, Banerjee said her party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), would oppose the Centre’s move at every stage.
The remarks come after the government introduced a set of bills in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, including the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill aimed at modifying the women’s quota law, along with the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill.
These legislative measures are part of the Centre’s plan to implement the amended women’s reservation law in Union Territories such as Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir.
