Questions delay in implementing women’s reservation law
Addressing reporters in Mumbai, Sule raised concerns over why women are yet to receive 33 per cent reservation in legislative bodies even in 2026. She pointed out that the legislation, widely known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, had been passed with full political consensus three years ago.
