Congress Urges All-Party Meeting on Delimitation, Seeks Freeze on Lok Sabha Seats
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the government's proposed delimitation exercise. Kharge reiterated 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. His request follows remarks by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju about a possible special Parliament session, with Kharge cautioning against rushing the process without adequate consultation.
