[00:00:00]Today we are in Mother's Day. And India rightfully is demanding a 33% reservation rightfully. But today you can vote for it today. You can vote for it vote for it immediately. Don't link it to delimitation. Have three 2001 third reservation for women in today's Parliament will all vote for it.

[00:00:15]>> After census numbers come, will North Indian states agree? Let us imagine census number come by 2027, 2028, or 2029 let us imagine. Will states like UP agree?

[00:00:24]If a state like UP stands up and say, "No, the proportional representation, one person one vote, we need more number of MPs." Where will we we go and put our head? A grand bargain is a bargain where every state should come to a conclusion that this is a solution. Unfortunately, it does not happen.

[00:00:38]>> Our Parliament of 850 is also a disaster. As it is with 543, many people don't get a chance to speak, to debate, to discuss.

[00:00:44]>> I'm seeing the MPs only in the papers, sir. At least let me have the opportunity So then we also need to work out what the MLAs do, what the councilors do, especially and and what the MPs do so we can have a distinction rather than going to 850.
