The ongoing Monsoon Session of the Indian Parliament has set a record by remaining open for 88 days, surpassing the previous record from 2008. This unusual delay in proroguing the session has sparked allegations from the Congress that the Centre is attempting to push through its controversial delimitation bills. Jairam Ramesh, Congress leader, has accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of trying to secure a two-thirds majority for these bills using questionable tactics. The opposition has opposed the proposed delimitation exercise, expressing concerns about using outdated census data and altering political representation between states. The Centre's attempt to amend the Constitution through these bills requires a majority of the Lok Sabha's total membership and at least two-thirds of the MPs present and voting. However, the Congress suspects that the government is prolonging the session to buy time for Shah to assemble the necessary numbers. Jairam Ramesh alleged that this record was set intentionally to give Shah time to manipulate a controversial two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha to pass the delimitation bills. The Congress has previously defeated these proposals and warned that they would do so again if such tactics are repeated. Additionally, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to Prime Minister Modi four times in the past six months, seeking an all-party meeting to discuss delimitation before introducing legislation, but his requests were allegedly ignored by the PM. Despite the prolonged gap, it is unclear whether a special sitting or another vote on delimitation has been planned.
