It is surprising that the historic women's reservation bill has taken 13 long years to reach this stage. The conduct of the opposing members has been abominable, grabbing papers related to the bill from the hands of the speaker and tearing them. The bill has caused a lot of dissension within the party but surely it is an idea whose time has come. With almost 50% of the population being women they surely deserve at least 33% seats.
Main opposition has come from Yadavs; Mulayam, Lalu and Sharad. Mayawati is also opposing this bill. There main contention is that they should have a further reservation quota for minorities, dalit and backward communities. I think this is just a ploy to play to their respective vote banks and nothing else. These politicians are like dinosaurs and don't want to change with times. Let's hope with both Congress and BJP in favor of the bill it will be passed this time.
