Rijiju's Misguided Gamble: The Women's Quota Bill and the Politics of Delimitation The recent exchange between Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over the Women's Reservation Bill has exposed a deeper fault line in India's politics.

Rijiju's attempt to pin down Gandhi on his stance towards the bill is a classic case of playing with fire.
