# Rijiju Seeks Opposition Support for Delimitation and FCRA Bills 2026-08-06T10:51:26+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju met Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for nearly 50 minutes, after a phone call and an earlier meeting. The government is seeking support for proposed changes to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act and a Constitution amendment linking delimitation with one-third reservation for women before the 2029 elections. The proposal could increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 816, according to India Today. Congress said the delimitation proposal was not acceptable in its current form. It also sought a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on police action against NEET protesters and a discussion on alleged donation theft at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The government is also contacting other opposition parties. Reports differ on its numbers and the timing of any bill introduction. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - indiatoday.in - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - news.abplive.com Tags: delimitation, FCRA, Opposition, Parliament, women’s reservation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/government-seeks-opposition-support-for-delimitation-and-fcra-bills/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
