NCP (SP) Supports Uniform 50% Lok Sabha Seat Increase with Women's Reservation Condition
The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) led by Supriya Sule has expressed conditional support for the Centre's proposed Delimitation Bill, advocating a uniform 50 per cent increase in Lok Sabha seats across all states alongside the implementation of women's reservation. Sule emphasized the need to address growing electorate sizes and highlighted prior discussions involving opposition leaders. The Congress party, however, distanced itself from Sule's stance, clarifying its position on delimitation. The government has yet to present a fresh proposal, with Sule urging for the bill's introduction to facilitate further debate.
