Sharad Pawar-Led NCP-SP Considers Support for Delimitation Bill Pending Review
The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) has not made an official decision on supporting the government's proposed Delimitation Bill ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. NCP leader Supriya Sule emphasized that the party will review the bill once introduced and consider backing it if it includes a 50 percent increase in Lok Sabha and Assembly seats across states. While sources suggest the NCP-SP may support the bill and the Women's Reservation Bill, the party denies any formal alliance with the NDA and plans to consult its INDIA bloc allies before finalizing its stance.
