The rift between the two NCP (SP) leaders highlights a broader debate ahead of the Monsoon Session.
Baramati MP Supriya Sule stated that her party might consider supporting the proposed Delimitation Bill, but only if the Centre explicitly guarantees on paper a uniform 50% increase in parliamentary seats for all states.
She maintained that any final decision would be made only after reviewing the draft legislation and consulting with the broader INDIA bloc.
Breaking ranks, the Karjat Jamkhed MLA publicly rejected the idea, warning that the delimitation exercise is a calculated political trap designed to manipulate constituencies to the ruling party’s advantage.
He argued that the restructuring would be executed solely to maintain power without regard for geographical boundaries, citing the delimitation of constituencies in Assam as a concerning example.
