Congress: Modi government sets new prorogation delay record, eyes ‘super-tainted’ 2/3rd majority
The Congress party has criticized the Modi government for setting a record in the delay of parliamentary prorogation. They allege that the Home Minister is attempting to engineer a two-thirds majority to pass a controversial delimitation bill.
Why it matters
The accusations highlight deep-seated political friction regarding constitutional processes and the legislative strategies of the ruling party.
Taking a swipe at the Modi government, the Congress on Friday (September 11, 2026) said it has set a new record for the delay in prorogation of Parliament after it adjourned sine die and alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah is now plotting to secure a “super-tainted” two-thirds majority to get the Constitution Amendment Bill involving delimitation passed in the Lok Sabha.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also asked why is the Modi government refusing to convene an all-party meeting to discuss its proposals for delimitation so as to build the broadest possible consensus.
"So today the Modi government has set a new record, bettering its own set in 2015. The gap between the adjournment of Parliament sine die and its prorogation has reached 29 days. The gap for the 2015 Monsoon Session was 28 days," Mr. Ramesh said on X.
