Opposition Unites to Challenge BJP's Delimitation Bill
The opposition, led by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, is rallying against the BJP-led central government's delimitation bill. Accusing the Centre of deceit, they aim to ensure all MPs from opposition states are present to vote against the bill. The bill, disguised as promoting women's reservation, is seen as politically motivated.

In a bold move against the BJP-led central government, opposition leader Sanjay Raut criticized the upcoming delimitation bill, accusing it of political manipulation. Speaking in New Delhi, he highlighted the coordinated efforts by opposition parties to thwart the legislation.
Raut revealed that Uddhav Thackeray and Mamata Banerjee have solidified a strategy to ensure that MPs from key opposition regions, such as Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, are present for the pivotal parliamentary vote. He emphasized that the Centre's attempt to pass the bill amidst state elections is a tactical blunder.
As Parliament reconvenes for an extended session, pivotal legislation such as 'The Delimitation Bill, 2026' is set for discussion. The opposition has condemned the bills as flawed, accusing the government of disguising them under the women's reservation agenda. The fight over these amendments is expected to intensify as voting commences.
