Kharge flags 64-day prorogation delay, seeks all-party meet on delimitation
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday, 16 October 2026, wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagging a 64-day delay in proroguing the Monsoon Session of Parliament, which ended on 13 August. Kharge urged Modi to convene an all-party meeting before bringing any new Constitutional Amendment Bill on delimitation, his fourth such request since April.
Kharge recalled that the government had introduced a delimitation bill in April and called a special session on 16 April, but the bill failed to get the required two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha on 17 April by a decisive margin. He cautioned the PM against attempting to 'bulldoze' another bill through Parliament and demanded sufficient time for all parties to deliberate with stakeholders before any proposal is finalised.
Indian Opinion Analysis

The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no added framing. The story's substance is Kharge's accusation that the government tried to rush a bill through Parliament once already and may be planning to do so again.
