Special Session of Parliament 2023: The central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will begin a 5-day special session in the new Parliament from September 18. Since the beginning of this month, people are curious as to why the government is calling a special session and what is going to happen. Today the government gave a surprise to the special session – by bringing the Women Reservation Bill. This bill has been approved in the cabinet.
Now the Women’s Reservation Bill will be passed during the special session in Parliament. Let us tell you that the Women’s Reservation Bill was pending for the last 27 years, which will now come on the table of Parliament. According to statistics, the number of women MPs in the Lok Sabha is less than 15%, while their representation in the state assembly is less than 10%. The last move on the issue was in 2010, when the Rajya Sabha passed the bill amid uproar and marshals ousting some MPs who opposed 33% reservation for women. However, this bill was canceled because it could not be passed by the Lok Sabha.

This step may prove decisive in the Lok Sabha elections
Political experts are seeing the special session called by the Modi government as the last opportunity for the government to bring a big agenda to win the 2024 elections. Political experts believe that the government may try to sway the voters in its favor by announcing some big step in this session. Let us tell you that more space has been created for the members to sit in the new Parliament. In such a situation, this is also an indication that participation of members can be increased by increasing the seats. If this happens, the Prime Minister can bring his special supporters, women, into his fold more strongly. Which can prove to be decisive in the next Lok Sabha elections.
