Dola Sen (Trinamool) speaks next
Sen: Though this Bill is 9.5 years too late, though it is coming just before elections, we will support it because it is for women empowerment.
Sen objects to Bill's provisions that require Census and Delimitation to be completed before implementation of the Bill. Wonders if this Bill is another jumla. Sen says she fears women reservation will be added to the long list of election jumlas given by BJP since 2014.
