LUCKNOW, April 16 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday backed reserving one-third of seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies but opposed the BJP government's push to implement the amendment to Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023, without conducting a fresh caste-based census. Yadav alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was orchestrating a 'massive conspiracy' to sidestep updated caste data that would secure backward classes' political representation. His stand comes ahead of a special three-day Parliament session starting Thursday, where the government plans to move amendments to operationalise the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam passed in September 2023, possibly delinking implementation from the next Census, delimitation exercise. In a post on X, Yadav accused the BJP-led government of attempting to deny Backward Classes their rightful share of political representation. He described the BJP's push for the constitutional amendment as a deliberate attempt to bypass a fresh caste-based census, delimitation exercise. "We support women's reservation, but we stand against the BJP's calculated conspiracy," Yadav wrote. "The BJP and its allies have maintained a conspicuous silence regarding women belonging to the country's largest demographic segment: the 'Backward Classes.' He further demanded that political parties be given flexibility to implement the reservation on the basis of proportional representation. He called the move "a clandestine scheme devised by shadowy figures against the spirit of democracy"....
