Govt. trying to fool women with reservation Bill: AAP Leader Atishi
In the backdrop of the presentation of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha of India’s new Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised several objections and demanded amendments from the central government. Speaking to Aaj Tak, AAP leader and minister Atishi emphasized that the party’s stance on this bill would remain the same in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha—urging for revisions that include the need for women’s reservation and its immediate implementation by 2024. AAP advocates reserving one-third of the existing 540 seats for women.
Atishi further revealed that AAP would call for amendments to the bill on the floor of the house. While the party supports women’s reservation, it is concerned about the provisions in the Women’s Reservation Bill, which, if passed, would trigger a census and redistricting process lasting three to four years. She noted that such a prolonged process could potentially hinder women’s representation and participation.
Regarding AAP’s concerns over the Women’s Reservation Bill, Atishi questioned the necessity of introducing clauses related to a census and redistricting. She underscored that this bill, as it stands, appears to be a strategy to delay women’s reservation until 2024 elections, which she perceives as an attempt to undermine women’s intelligence. Atishi believes that women in India are well aware of the rising cost of living and the challenges of running a household. She firmly stated that women cannot be misled with empty promises.
When asked if AAP would withhold its support until the bill is amended, Atishi emphasized that while they endorse the principle of women’s reservation, they will call on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to amend the bill.
Clearly, Atishi, a prominent AAP leader, has not provided a clear stance on whether the party supports or opposes the Women’s Reservation Bill. However, she has made it abundantly clear that AAP intends to press for amendments to the bill during parliamentary proceedings.

Well-known UPSC teacher Avadh Ojha has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) just ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. He was welcomed into the party by Arvind Kejriwal, AAP’s leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, in the presence of senior leader Manish Sisodia.
Speaking at the event, Ojha said he was excited to work with AAP because of its focus on improving education. “I want to thank Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia for giving me this chance. My dream has always been to improve education and work for the future of children,” Ojha said.
Kejriwal shared how Ojha’s joining would help the party’s work in education. “Education is at the heart of what we do. With Avadh Ojha on board, we can make it even better. When education gets better, the country becomes stronger,” he said. Sisodia also welcomed Ojha and said it was a proud moment for the party. “Ojha has done amazing work in education, and I’ve dedicated my life to this field too. Together, we can bring real change,” he added.
Who is Avadh Ojha?
Avadh Ojha is a popular teacher known for helping students prepare for the UPSC exams. He comes from Gonda in Uttar Pradesh and started his teaching career after facing challenges with his own UPSC journey.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has claimed in a plea for Kejriwal’s judicial custody in the excise policy case that Kejriwal stated Vijay Nair, one of the accused, used to report to AAP leaders Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj, not him. The investigative agency had nabbed Vijay Nair, AAP’s former communication head, along with members of the southern group – K. Kavita, Sarath Reddy, Raghav Magunta, and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy – and other AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh in connection with the excise policy case.
A Delhi court put CM Kejriwal in judicial custody till 15th April on Monday, while the AAP Supreme Court filed an application demanding access to three books – Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, and How Prime Ministers Decide. When the ED’s custody in the alleged money laundering case related to the excise policy scam ended, he was presented before Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court. Special Judge Baweja had extended his ED custody on 28th March, citing ‘sufficient grounds’. He had allowed him to meet his family members and lawyers.
