The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told his allies that the NDA coalition has 366 MPs in the Lok Sabha, enough to pass both the Women's Reservation Bill and the Delimitation Bill, sources told India TV News. If the bills are not taken up in the ongoing monsoon session because of the deadlock between the government and the Opposition, a special Parliament session may be called this month, the sources said.
Meanwhile, MPs from the NCP (Sharad Pawar) faction are likely to meet PM Modi next week. The delimitation exercise is expected to be key agenda, as the monsoon session enters its last week.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative of a Parliamentary deadlock suits both sides. The Opposition calls it democratic resistance; the ruling party paints it as obstruction. The real issue is whether the Delimitation Bill will be used to redraw constituency boundaries before the next Census, which could shift political power. The test is simple. Will PM Modi convene a special session this month, as his own sources claim, or will this fade into another round of talks with no bill? Watch the NCP-SP meeting next week.
