AAP MP Sanjay Singh slams the Modi government over the failed Women’s Reservation Bill, alleging a “Tukde-Tukde” conspiracy to trigger a North-South regional conflict.
The political atmosphere in the capital has intensified following the collapse of the Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, accusing it of using the Women’s Reservation Bill as a tool to incite regional divisions across the country.
Allegations of a “Tukde-Tukde” Mentality
In a candid conversation with the media, Sanjay Singh alleged that the central government is functioning like a “Tukde-Tukde gang,” attempting to fracture national unity. He claimed that the strategic framing of the Women’s Reservation Bill was intentionally designed to spark a confrontation between Northern and Southern Indian states.
“The Modi government was trying to break the country by inciting a North-South dispute,” Singh stated. He argued that the defeat of the bill in Parliament has temporarily halted a conspiracy that would have unfairly reduced the parliamentary representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and West Bengal.
The Delimitation and Census Controversy
A major point of contention raised by the AAP leader involves the prerequisites attached to the Women’s Reservation Bill. Singh pointed out that the 2023 version of the legislation mandated a census and a subsequent delimitation exercise before the reservation could be implemented, effectively pushing the benefits beyond 2029.

Singh questioned the logic of the government’s approach, stating:
Immediate Implementation: The opposition demanded 33% reservation immediately for the 2024 and subsequent elections.
Flawed Census Base: Singh argued that using the 2011 census for current seat adjustments is illogical as it lacks updated caste-based data.
Regional Disparity: He alleged that the Women’s Reservation Bill was being used as a shield to redraw constituencies in a way that favors certain regions while penalizing others.
Opposition Defends “Anti-Women” Labels
Responding to BJP’s allegations that the opposition is “anti-women” for letting the bill fall, Singh countered that the legislation in its current form was never truly about empowering women. He maintained that the Women’s Reservation Bill was a political gimmick laden with conditions that made it impossible to implement in the near future.
“How are we anti-women? We told the government to give 33% reservation today and contest the elections on that basis, but they refused,” Singh added. He emphasized that the opposition’s primary goal was to prevent the government from using the Women’s Reservation Bill to manipulate state-wise seat distributions under the guise of reform.
Protecting the Rights of Southern States
Sanjay Singh concluded by stating that by blocking the current iteration of the Women’s Reservation Bill, the opposition has protected the constitutional rights of states whose seats were at risk of being reduced. He called for a more transparent and immediate reservation policy that does not depend on the controversial delimitation process, which many fear will disadvantage states with successful population control measures.
