Parliament reconvening possible as delimitation bill awaits passage, hints Rijiju

·1 views

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has hinted at the possibility of Parliament being reconvened, drawing attention to a pending constitutional amendment bill on delimitation. The proposed legislation aims to implement delimitation from 2029, which would include a 50% increase in Lok Sabha seats. Rijiju stopped short of confirming an immediate special session but noted that Parliament has historically been reconvened when a session was not formally prorogued. The monsoon session, which concluded on August 13, has not yet been prorogued, keeping the door open for a recall. No official announcement on the timing or agenda of any reconvened session has been made.
