BJP’s Lok Sabha MPs split over women’s quota bill Updated - 11/3/2010 - ibnlive.com.
The United Progressive Alliance Government secured Rajya Sabha’s endorsement on the historic Women’s Reservation Bill but its fate still seems uncertain. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which helped the Government push the Bill through the Rajya Sabha, is now facing revolt from some of its Lok Sabha MPs. With some BJP Lok Sabha MPs not in favour of the Women’s Reservation Bill, the UPA Government is unlikely to introduce the Bill in the Lok Sabha before April 12, when the House returns from a three-week break. The MPs have told BJP senior leaders that no whip should be issued to vote in favour of the Bill as it may be defied. The view that the BJP was trapped by the Congress-led UPA on the Women’s Reservation Bill, too, is gaining ground. Sources say BJP leaders are upset with the Government over the manner in which marshals were used to evict the suspended Rajya Sabha members who sought to block the Bill. The UPA needs the support of the BJP in Lok Sabha to garner a two-thirds majority for the Bill to be passed.
