`33% is minimum that is being demanded`

Q&A: Najma Heptullah

Do you think that in the coalition era, this kind of a Bill is a non-starter? Since it is so difficult to build a consensus on the kind of Bill that should be there.
This Bill would have required consensus even if a government had the kind of majority that Rajiv Gandhi had in 1985. After all, women do not live in an exclusive women-only world. At the end of the day, in a political system, women will need the help of political workers of both genders to win elections. In such a situation, we cannot push this Bill through the force of numbers, but a general political consensus. If men resent it or do not truly want this, do you think it will change the situation, Bill or no Bill?
