Members leave after the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die, during the Special session of Parliament, in New Delhi, on April 18, 2026 | Photo Credit: PTI/Sansad TV A day after a Constitution Amendment Bill to implement reservation for women in legislatures from 2029 and increase the strength of the Lok Sabha was defeated in the Lower House, the BJP and the Opposition on Saturday (April 18, 2026) engaged in a war of words over its implementation.
