Q1. Which of the following statements about the Women's Reservation amendment being considered by Parliament in April 2026 is correct?
Explanation
The proposed amendments aim to implement the women's quota by March 31, 2029, in time for the next Lok Sabha elections and assembly polls in Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Andhra Pradesh. The amendment uses 2011 Census (not 2027) and, being a Constitutional Amendment, requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses. It amends, not repeals, the 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (the Act that originated as the 128th Constitutional Amendment Bill).
