Chief minister of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan has said that the government of Maharashtra will introduce a legislation mandating 50 % electoral seats for women in all local self-government bodies which includes all from municipal corporations to gram panchayats. The Bill will be introduced in the forthcoming budget session. At present Maharashtra already has a 30 % reservation for women. Total 27 municipal and gram panchayat elections are slated for 2011-12 in the state, including the most crucial one to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation which will be held in February 2012. Notably, the Women's Reservation Bill proposing 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament is still in the pipeline.
