Union minister Kiren Rijiju has quoted an exchange with Congress MP Shashi Tharoor to attack the opposition after the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill was defeated in Lok Sabha on April 17, 2026.

Government Releases FAQs on Women's Reservation Bill After Parliamentary Defeat

The Indian government released a set of FAQs defending its women’s reservation bill, defeated in Parliament on April 17, which proposed a 50% increase in Lok Sabha seats to 850. The bill faced opposition primarily from southern states, with BJP sending MP Anurag Thakur to Karnataka to counter criticism. The government argued delimitation is necessary for fair representation given India's population growth from 54 crore to 140 crore since 1971, while Congress accused the ruling party of anti-women agenda and called the FAQ release a damage control exercise.
