Women’s Bill could change Lok Sabha look: Mulayam

Alleging the Bill was presented in Rajya Sabha without consensus, the SP President told reporters the government had “sinister designs” and wanted to get it passed before the general elections.

He claimed veteran BJP leader Atal Behari Vajpayee had admitted to the shortcomings in the Bill during his tenure as Prime Minister.

The Election Commission had earlier suggested political parties should be allowed to implement a quota within their organisation failing which they could face derecognition, Yadav said.
