NEW DELHI — Exactly 24 hours after a private meeting with the Prime Minister, leadership of a regional opposition party announced they have suddenly been struck by a powerful, undeniable urge to empower women, provided it happens alongside a 50% increase in the total number of parliamentary seats.

The party, which severed ties with the ruling coalition over farm laws in 2020, cited a profound moral awakening regarding the 2023 Women's Reservation Bill.

"We cannot wait another moment to give women their rightful voice," said a party spokesperson, reviewing documents confirming that the bill's implementation is legally delayed until a delimitation exercise expands the legislature. "It is a matter of urgent equality that we redraw the electoral map and create more vacancies so no existing politician has to give up his chair to make room."

Government officials welcomed the sudden ideological alignment, noting that the most effective way to achieve gender parity is to tie it to a complex geographic redistricting process that consolidates the ruling coalition's power. Following their passionate press conference on women's rights, party leaders reportedly asked if the new coalition seat-sharing agreements could be finalized by the weekend.
