New Delhi: The Congress has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is attempting to engineer a two-thirds majority in Parliament by breaking Opposition parties after reports claimed that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was preparing to revive the Constitution amendment Bill, linking delimitation with women reservation, once it secured the required numbers.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah was trying to secure the numbers needed for the passage of the 131st Constitution amendment Bill, 2026, after the legislation was defeated in Parliament earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever before has anybody tried to engineer a two-thirds majority for his party in the Lok Sabha, lower house of the Indian parliament, as the Home Minister is desperately doing these days in the run-up to the monsoon session,\u201d Ramesh said.<\/p>\n

Referring to the Bill\u2019s defeat on April 17, he said the NDA had failed to secure the required support for the \u201cdangerous Constitution amendment Bill dealing with delimitation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Saying that the setback had intensified the BJP\u2019s efforts to expand its numbers in Parliament, the Congress leader lamented that attempts were being made to break Opposition parties and undermine democratic processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cStung by that resounding defeat, he (Shah) is now busy breaking Opposition parties and making a complete mockery of democracy. The fight is on. His evil designs must not and will not succeed,\u201d Ramesh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
