Delimitation Bill to have 50% seat hike for all states, or no support: Supriya Sule
in5points
Supriya Sule said NCP (SP) may support the Delimitation Bill only if it guarantees a 50% seat increase for all states in equal proportion.
Sule demanded the bill must spell out the formula for redrawing parliamentary constituencies.
NCP (SP) conveyed reservations to Union home minister Amit Shah and parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju.
Earlier version of the bill was defeated because assurances on a 50% cap were not reflected.
Sule cited the example of Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi's Kaliabor constituency in Assam during past delimitation.
