Rahul Gandhi has declined to back the government's Delimitation Bill after Kiren Rijiju approached the Congress for support amid a parliamentary stalemate.
Rahul Gandhi has made it clear that the Congress will not support the government's Delimitation Bill, rejecting a request from Union Minister Kiren Rijiju.
The bill, which seeks to redraw parliamentary constituencies, has been a point of contention in the Lok Sabha, where a logjam has stalled its progress.
Sources say Rijiju approached the opposition to secure a vote of confidence, hoping to secure the necessary majority for the bill.
Gandhi’s refusal underscores the Congress’s stance on the issue and may further complicate the government's attempt to bring the bill back to Parliament.
