West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP-led NDA government of using the proposed women's reservation amendment as a front to push through a delimitation exercise. The exercise could increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850 based on the 2011 Census. Banerjee alleged that the move would 'break the country into pieces' and claimed that the Opposition would resist it at every stage. The Trinamool Congress already has 37% women MPs, and Banerjee challenged the BJP to ensure better representation of women candidates. Banerjee also raised concerns over electoral roll revisions and accused the Centre of misusing central agencies. She questioned the Centre on governance promises, asking whether commitments on jobs, black money recovery, and development had been fulfilled.
