There’s a visible change of heart in Rahul. Now, I hope they will support women’s reservation bill unconditionally.”<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="13"/>Rahul shot back, “Rijiju, who would know better than you as minister of parliamentary affairs that the 2023 bill has already been passed unanimously. The question is, why has it still not been implemented even after three years, and why do you now want to unnecessarily link it to delimitation? Implement 2023 law. Without any conditions.”</div> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rijiju-rahul-trade-barbs-over-womens-quota-bill-rollout/articleshow/133059251.cms">Source link </a></p> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-cb46ffcb wp-block-group-is-layout-flex"> <div style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600;" class="post-navigation-link-previous wp-block-post-navigation-link"><a href="https://onlinechhattisgarh.com/89595/" rel="prev">Government spending on education below Unesco’s 15% standard | India News</a></div> <div style="font-style:normal;font-weight:600;" class="post-navigation-link-next has-text-align-right wp-block-post-navigation-link"><a href="https://onlinechhattisgarh.com/89599/" rel="next">Captain of turbulence-hit Phuket-Delhi flight may have failed dope test | India News</a></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group has-light-color-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-edcd9cee wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; border-radius: 12px; padding-top: 30px; padding-right: 30px; padding-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 30px"> <div class="aligncenter wp-block-avatar"><img alt='onlinechhattisgarh.com Avatar' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c123fb5c4953706b87a6dec0d7c9e1e9738895e330f0809593bd0d3e358cbbb7?s=100&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c123fb5c4953706b87a6dec0d7c9e1e9738895e330f0809593bd0d3e358cbbb7?s=200&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-100 photo wp-block-avatar__image' height='100' width='100' style="border-radius:100px;" decoding='async'/></div> <div style="font-style:normal;font-weight:500;text-transform:capitalize;" class="has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-78330464bfe9c7c2bf94f37aafacfe96 wp-block-post-author-name has-text-color has-dark-color-color has-medium-font-size">onlinechhattisgarh.com</div> </div> <div class="wp-block-group has-light-color-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7be2be26 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; border-radius: 12px; margin-top: var(--wp--preset--spacing--70); padding-top: 24px; padding-right: 24px; padding-bottom: 24px; padding-left: 24px"> <div class="wp-block-comments"> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond wp-block-post-comments-form"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/89597/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3><form action="https://onlinechhattisgarh.com/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form"><p class="comment-notes"><span id="email-notes">Your email address will not be published.</span> <span class="required-field-message">Required fields are marked <span class="required">*</span></span></p><p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">Comment <span class="required">*</span></label> <textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength="65525" required>
