Morning coverage focused on the parliamentary debate over the Women's Reservation Bill and linked Delimitation Bill, with opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi criticizing the legislation as an attempt to change India's electoral map and demanding a caste census instead. By midday, editorial attention shifted to the voting process in the Lok Sabha, with Home Minister Amit Shah defending delimitation as necessary for implementing women's reservation by 2029 while opposition parties maintained their opposition. Evening reports consolidated on the defeat of the constitutional amendment bill, with the government failing to secure the required two-thirds majority by 54 votes, marking the first time in 12 years a Modi government constitutional amendment has been defeated in Parliament.
