An Indian government bill to expand assemblies and reserve a third of the seats for women did not get enough votes to pass parliament on Friday. The bill’s failure marked a rare defeat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The legislation was linked to plans for women’s seat reservations in assemblies. The vote outcome prevents the bill from becoming law at this time.
BizTrendWire Insight:
The bill’s defeat is notable due to its association with expanding assemblies and women’s seat reservations.
