Women's reservation bill: It's going to be a long wait for women because of the caveat of delimitation, or redrawing constituencies, and the next census, she pointed out.
Rajya Sabha to Lok Sabha was just a five-minute walk in the old parliament building, and now, instead of a five-minute walk, the (women's reservation) bill has taken 13 years to reach the Lok Sabha, Brinda Karat, former member of the Rajya Sabha and CPI(M) Politburo member, said today, recalling memories from 2010 when the historic women's reservation bill passed the upper house.
"Even after having reached the Lok Sabha, it's not going to benefit women right now. They'll have to wait another eight years, at least, to get the benefit; and for democracy to get the benefits of this bill. I think that's unfortunate that we put it through that," she told NDTV.
"Forces" in several political parties opposed the bill in 2010 and tried to sabotage it even it was introduced in the parliament, Ms Karat said.
