INDIA Bloc Leaders Oppose The Delimitation Bill

Leaders of the INDIA bloc on Wednesday resolved to oppose the delimitation bill being advanced through an amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023, which provides 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

While reiterating their support for women’s reservation and calling for the Act's implementation, the opposition objected to the proposed delimitation exercise, arguing that it could dilute the representation of southern and north-eastern states in the Lok Sabha.

The decision was taken at a meeting held at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in Delhi, attended by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, among other INDIA bloc leaders.
