Congress MP Manish Tewari has expressed strong opposition to the proposed delimitation bill, warning that its implications could be deleterious, detrimental, and destructive to India's federal structure. He highlighted that the core issue is not about proportions but rather absolute numbers, arguing that lifting the 1971 freeze on constituency boundaries could worsen the disparity between the heartland and peripheral states. Tewari's comments come as the government prepares to introduce three significant bills during a special session of Parliament, which includes the women's reservation bill aimed at ensuring 33% of seats for women in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for support from opposition parties to pass the amendment, stating that it reflects the wishes of women across the country. However, the opposition remains firm in its opposition to the delimitation bill, fearing it could alter the balance of representation in the Lok Sabha. The special session is set to take place on April 16, 17, and 18, focusing on these critical legislative proposals.
