The Congress on Thursday alleged that the government wants to "bulldoze" delimitation in the name of women's reservation, and asserted that if it is really committed to implementing the women's quota law it should do so immediately on the basis of the current strength of Lok Sabha.

Initiating the discussion on the three bills moved to amend the women's quota law and set up a delimitation commission, Gogoi said the bills are "anti-women, anti-caste census, anti-Constitution and anti-federal structure of the country".
