His words don\u2019t match his actions,\u201d Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>BJP\u2019s framing its attack on Rahul around the women\u2019s quota coupled with the fact that monsoon session is yet to be prorogued gave another indication of the possibility of govt summoning the two Houses at short notice to take up its Constitution amendment bill for implementation of quota from 2029 with a nearly 50% rise in Lok Sabha seats.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>\u201cWhat explains the abnormal delay now?

But the monsoon session, which ended on Aug 13, has not been prorogued yet.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>When a session is prorogued, govt has to go through the protocol for calling a new session that conventionally requires a gap of 15 to 20 days.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Stepping up BJP\u2019s attack on Rahul Gandhi, Fadnavis said he spoke about women\u2019s empowerment from a public platform but has opposed the most revolutionary step to give women their due.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>BJP\u2019s Smriti Irani said Rahul should positively respond to PM Modi\u2019s appeal to political parties to support the implementation of women\u2019s quota.

The LoP in Lok Sabha reiterated his stand against it. Congress and its allies have said Lok Sabha\u2019s strength should be frozen at its existing number and the quota should be executed within it.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
