Call all-party meet to discuss delimitation bill: Kharge to PM Modi
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge requested PM Narendra Modi to call an all-party meeting to discuss the revised Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill.
Kharge cited media reports that the government plans to reintroduce the delimitation bill in the Monsoon session.
Congress spokesman Jairam Ramesh said the government lacks the two-thirds majority required to pass a constitutional amendment bill.
The opposition previously defeated the bill in Lok Sabha on April 17, calling it a tool for delimitation favoring BJP and hurting southern states.
Congress is in touch with parties that voted against the bill, including DMK and SP, to maintain opposition unity.
