Pilot also questioned the need to change the women's reservation bill that was passed by the Rajya Sabha during the UPA tenure in 2010. He said if the BJP-led Centre had a clear intention, it could have passed the UPA-era bill. There have been several efforts to introduce the women's reservation bill in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies since 1996. The last such attempt was made in 2010 when the Rajya Sabha passed the bill but it could not be passed in the Lok Sabha.
