The Congress on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) recalled Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi’s earlier letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding immediate implementation of women’s reservation in legislatures, saying the Modi Government “slept” on the demand and delayed it now by linking it to delimitation.

Congress general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, recalled that in 2017, Sonia Gandhi had written to Prime Minister Modi on the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in her capacity as the then Congress President.
