That 33% reservation for women could have easily been implemented within the existing framework of 543 seats!

-


 If a 33% reservation for women is indeed to be implemented, then simply allocate 33% of the existing 543 seats in the Lok Sabha—what exactly is the problem with that?


 Sanchita chatterjee: It seems that 543 Members of Parliament (MPs) are insufficient for the task of looting the nation's taxpayers' money; consequently, that number is now being inflated to 850. I fully support the 33% reservation for women, but let that 33% be drawn from the existing pool of 543 seats.



What does the move to increase the Lok Sabha to 850 seats reveal about the country's economic condition? Between salaries, allowances, travel funds, daily stipends, phone services, and medical benefits—each MP is effectively siphoning off 5 lakh rupees per month from the national exchequer.


Their actual work output is zero, and their responsiveness is zero; furthermore, they enjoy 'Y+' category security cover and extract commissions from various development projects. In essence, the country is being plundered by yet another batch of individuals.


Name a single MP who has actually accomplished any substantive work in the last five years—someone who has stood up in the Lok Sabha and championed the establishment of a school, college, university, stadium, hospital, or PGI (Postgraduate Institute). (Unless, of course, you were merely referring to the AIIMS project.)


Now that the number of MPs is set to rise from 543 to 850, the number of Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) will inevitably follow suit, potentially swelling from 2,000 to 3,000. Just consider the astronomical cost—in terms of salaries and security—that this will impose on the nation. Moreover, this 33% reservation will not result in the election of poor laborers, farmers, or middle-class women;


Instead, the seats will be filled by individuals like Kangana Ranaut, Jaya Bachchan, Smriti Irani, and Hema Malini.


If you truly care so deeply about women, then please extend this reservation to seats in the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission):

Seats for CGL (Combined Graduate Level) exams;

Seats for CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level) exams;

Seats for MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff) exams;

Seats for CPO (Central Police Organization) exams;

Seats for MBBS (Medical) courses;

Seats for IIT (Engineering) courses.


Grant women not just 33%, but a full 50% reservation in these sectors—yet, you will find yourselves unable to take such a step.


The BJP currently governs 20 states, yet there is only *one* female Chief Minister among them; I fail to understand, then, what exactly is meant by "dignity" or "respect" in this context.

By arbitrarily inflating the number of seats, you are merely serving your own political interests while simultaneously imposing an unbearable financial burden upon the citizens of this country.


That 33% reservation for women could have easily been implemented within the existing framework of 543 seats!


But no—the imperative, it seems, is simply to seize and retain power for all eternity.

But he doesn't speak. He is West Bengal's first autistic model. 20 May 2026, Kolkata: I am watching a documentary in a cinema hall, but I feel like I am looking at a mirror of society.

Reported by Sanchita chatterjee: Outstanding DA for Government Employees to be Paid in Two Installments in March and September; Notification Issued Prior to Mamata's Announcement. Following a long-standing dispute, the West Bengal government has taken a significant step toward clearing the outstanding Dearness Allowance (DA) dues of state government employees and pensioners. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made an announcement regarding this matter on Sunday afternoon, prior to the declaration of the election schedule in the state. Notably, even before her announcement, the Finance Department had issued several notifications and memoranda on March 13, stating that the DA arrears—accrued between April 2008 and December 2019—would be cleared in a phased manner. It has been stated that this decision was taken in light of a directive issued by the Supreme Court. Following the hearings on the DA case in court, a monitoring committee was constituted to oversee the matter. According to the...
