Sharad Pawar-led NCP Likely to Support Women's Reservation and Delimitation Bills Amid BJP Outreach
The Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction is expected to support the Women's Reservation Bill and Delimitation Bill during Parliament's Monsoon Session without formally joining the NDA, aiming for issue-based cooperation. Meanwhile, Congress leader P. Chidambaram has accused the BJP of courting the NCP and DMK to back the 131st Constitution Amendment Bill, which he claims aims to enable delimitation and gerrymandering. Chidambaram urged these parties to reject the Bill, citing prior constitutional amendments on women's reservation.
