Congress Seeks All-Party Meeting on Delimitation, Urges Freeze on Lok Sabha Seats
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene an all-party meeting on the proposed delimitation exercise, requesting adequate time for parties and state governments to review the proposals. Kharge reiterated Congress's demands to maintain the Lok Sabha's current strength of 543 seats and state-wise allocation for 25 years, and to implement one-third reservation for women starting from the 2029 elections. The call follows Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's indication of a possible special parliamentary session to discuss the delimitation bill.
