Overview
- Jagan Mohan Reddy, who posted on X on Wednesday, endorsed the Centre’s proposed amendments to the Women’s Reservation Act, 2023.
- The proposal is reported to reserve one‑third of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies with implementation targeted in 2029.
- He said the stance matches the YSR Congress Party’s record of giving women 50% representation in local bodies and in nominated posts.
- He argued the quota would grow women’s leadership and open more paths into public life across India.
- The plan originates with the Central Government and still needs legislative approval and administrative steps before it can take effect.
