Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, added a touch of levity to the debate on the women's reservation and delimitation bill in the Lok Sabha on Friday, 17 April.

Beginning his speech in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi recalled Union Minister Kiren Rijiju's comments about his wife upbraiding him for not dedicating a poem to her. Rahul Gandhi took the opportunity to punctuate the debate with a lighter remark, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he himself do not have the "wife issue".

This while the government and the Opposition are debating the three bills —the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026; the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026; and the Delimitation Bill, introduced by the government in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. Rahul Gandhi said the opposition will not allow the bills to be passed - here's why.
