Congress Leaders Criticize Delimitation Bill, Advocate Collective Opposition Stand
Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Manish Tewari, oppose the proposed Delimitation Bill, arguing it primarily benefits Central India while disadvantaging North, South, and Northeast regions. They advocate for women's reservation within the existing Lok Sabha seats rather than increasing the total number. Kharge emphasized the Opposition will take a collective stand after discussions, acknowledging some parties like Shiromani Akali Dal support the bill but maintain their own positions in the democratic process.
