The ongoing Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament, which started on July 20, has not been formally ended, breaking a record for the longest delay in closing a session. This situation has sparked allegations from the Congress party that the government is attempting to push through its controversial delimitation bills by securing a two-thirds majority. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of employing his "bulldozer tactics" to achieve this goal. The Opposition fears that using outdated census data for redrawing seats could alter political representation, particularly disadvantaging southern India. The Centre's attempt to amend the Constitution by increasing women's reservation in Lok Sabha and state assemblies through delimitation was previously defeated due to lack of required votes. The Congress claims that the government has intentionally kept Parliament open to allow Shah time to gather the necessary support for the bills' passage.
