Delimitation debate: How opposition faultlines may help govt in Monsoon session

NEW DELHI: Has BJP cracked the code for passage of the Delimitation Bill? Perhaps, yes. As the NDA government gears up for the upcoming Monsoon session of Parliament, the winds seem to be changing. In April, a united opposition had prevented the passage of Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, but three months later, now many of them are speaking in different voices.Sample these two statements made in the last few days:NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule: “If the Delimitation Bill- a key legislative agenda of the NDA government- is based on a uniform 50 per cent increase in seats across all states, "there would be little reason to oppose it".”Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut : We will oppose the Delimitation Bill, but if necessary amendments are made to it as suggested by them, then the opposition can "think it over".
