In the monsoon session of Parliament, starting on July 20th, Congress will strongly oppose the Delimitation Bill and several other potential bills. It will also demand discussions with the government on issues such as the Ram Temple offering theft case, paper leaks, ethanol, and foreign policy. Congress made this decision on Thursday. Party National President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament. In this letter, he urged PM Modi to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the government’s revised proposals on delimitation.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge shared the letter to PM Modi on X. Through this letter, he urged PM Modi to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the government’s revised proposals on delimitation. He further stated that throughout March and April 2026, he had been writing to the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, urging the Central Government to convene an all-party meeting to discuss his proposals related to delimitation, etc.
He stated that, unfortunately, this was not accepted. Subsequently, on April 17, 2026, the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, failed to secure the required two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha. Following the Congress party meeting, Mallikarjun Kharge stated that fund theft and betrayal of trust, question paper leaks and the systematic collapse of the education system, the capture of institutions, the subversion of political parties, numerous scams and corruption allegations, backbreaking inflation, foreign policy failures, and ethanol blending in petrol are the key issues on which the Congress will seek answers from the Modi government in the monsoon session.
Speaking to the media, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that the meeting discussed in detail potential bills that could be introduced during the Parliament session. He said, “We have heard that Home Minister Amit Shah is trying to bring back the Delimitation Bill in this session. This issue was also discussed in the meeting. We will continue to oppose the Delimitation Bill and will try to maintain unity among all opposition parties on this issue.”
