Opposition Blocks Constitution Amendment Expense in Lok Sabha
The Constitution (131 st Change) Bill, 2026, failed to pass in the Lok Sabha Friday, noting a victory for the opposition INDIA bloc. Rahul Gandhi called the bill an “unconstitutional technique” to press with the Delimitation Bill.
- Loss: The costs fell short of the required two-thirds majority, with 298 in favor and 230 versus.
- Resistance Stance: Declared the bill linked women’s quota to the 2029 elections and delimitation, punishing southern states.
- Federal government Reaction: Parliamentary Matters Preacher Kiren Rijiju accused the opposition of being “anti-women.”
- INDIA Bloc: Properly delayed the Delimitation Expense.
