Controversial Special Session: Women's Quota and Delimitation Debate

The Congress has criticized the government for allegedly calling a 'special session' to pass bills on women's quota and delimitation to gain a political edge in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu elections, violating the model code of conduct.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh warns of dangerous implications as the government attempts a rushed delimitation, potentially increasing Lok Sabha seats unfavorably affecting smaller states. Ramesh claims there's no official proposal for delimitation despite hearing of a significant increase in Lok Sabha seats.

The session's timing fuels opposition's concern over narrative control, as opposition leaders plan to strategize against this move. Meanwhile, the government readies for a session to address significant house vacancies, amid ongoing election narratives.
