New Delhi, April 4 -- The Congress indicated on Friday that it might back amendments to the women's reservation bill even as it said holding a sitting of Parliament before the end of the current assembly election cycle would clearly violate the model code of conduct. Asserting that the government's push for a rushed delimitation exercise would have "dangerous consequences", Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said that the party did not want any disturbance in the present differential and relative strength in the Lok Sabha. Ramesh, the Congress's chief whip in the Rajya Sabha, added that he came to know that the government will also bring a bill to set up a delimitation commission. The government has not announced which bill or bills it will introduce. "It was our demand to implement the women's reservation bill from 2029 when the bill was passed in 2023.While the party welcomes the amendment, at the same time, heavens would not have fallen if the government had waited for 15 days more, consulted all opposition parties and convened the session afterwards," he added. "There is no question of opposing it." The budget session was not prorogued or ended sine die. Both Houses will meet on April 16 likely for amendments to the women reservation bill. The government wants to delink the bill from the ongoing census and roll out the law from 2029 Lok Sabha polls. Tamil Nadu goes to the polls on April 23. West Bengal goes to the polls on April 23 and 29. "The purpose is to take advantage in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal elections," Ramesh said, arguing that the session could have been called after the polling on April 29. Ramesh said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will call a meeting next week of Congress lawmakers and Opposition leaders to chalk out a strategy. "We will take a common strategy. Remember, all Opposition parties are united on these issues. Trinamool Congress [which didn't sign Kharge's letter to parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju to call an all party meeting] may not be with us in letter but they are united in spirit," said Ramesh. "It was our demand to implement the women reservation bill from 2029, when the bill was passed in 2023," he added. Ramesh, the Congress's chief whip in the Rajya Sabha, said that he came to know that the government will also bring a bill to set up a delimitation commission. Congress said that the proposed delimitation might be based on 50% proportionate increase in the number of seats in all states....
