Centre Plans to Revive Delimitation Bill and Pursue Simultaneous Elections by 2029
The Indian government is preparing to revive the delimitation Bill and advance its 'One Nation, One Election' initiative aiming for simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls by 2029. The previous constitutional amendment failed to secure the required majority in April. The delimitation exercise, based on the 2011 census, is key to implementing 33% women's reservation but faces opposition from southern states concerned about reduced representation. Political realignments following recent state elections may influence the Bill's progress.
