AAP's Atishi alleges BJP's Women's Reservation Bill is 'Mahila Bewakoof Banao' bill. Seats reserved for women will be rotated after each delimitation exercise, but won't be implemented ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls. AAP demands 50% reservation in all govt jobs for women. Raghav Chadha demands immediate implementation of reservation without further delay.
Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on September 19 alleged that the Women's Reservation Bill is a Bill to befool women ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The government on Tuesday introduced a constitutional amendment Bill to reserve one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies for women, reviving a Bill pending for 27 years for want of consensus among parties.
Addressing a press conference, Ms. Atishi alleged that the BJP is not interested in the well-being and welfare of women. "A closer reading of the provisions of the Bill shows that it is 'Mahila Bewakoof Banao' Bill," she said.

According to the Bill, the reservation will come into effect after a delimitation exercise is undertaken and will continue for 15 years. Seats reserved for women will be rotated after each delimitation exercise.
"Why have the provisions of delimitation and census been included? This means that women reservation won't be implemented ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls," said Ms. Atishi, a Minister in the Arvind Kejriwal Government in Delhi.
"We demand that the provisions of delimitation and census be done away with and the women's reservation be implemented for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls," she said.
