They accused the India — Bharatiya Janata Party-led Modi government of deliberately delaying the women's quota law for political reasons. This protest follows the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the India — Lok Sabha, which aimed to implement 33 percent reservation for women in legislatures by 2029 and increase India — Lok Sabha seats. Leaders like Jairam Ramesh and Devender Yadav participated, alleging that the government linked the quota with delimitation to postpone its rollout.
