Pass the 33% women's reservation Bill in the 15th Lok Sabha and hold 2019 polls with one-third reservation

“will ensure that the Bill for reserving 33% of the seats in the Lok Sabha and the State legislatures is passed in the 15th Lok Sabha and that the elections to the 16th Lok Sabha are held on the basis of one-third reservation for women.”

The verdict

The 108th Amendment Bill passed the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but lapsed in 2014 without Lok Sabha approval, so the 16th Lok Sabha polls had no reservation.

Rule applied: Stalled: deadline passed or 2+ years idle, but funded or a bill was introduced → 2

“Promised to pass in the 15th Lok Sabha; it passed one house of Parliament.”
