Pawar-Modi Meeting Sparks Speculation Over Delimitation Bill Reintroduction

During the monsoon session of parliament on 22 July, when opposition MPs were protesting and shouting slogans against the central government, at the same time, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) chief Sharad Pawar and his daughter and Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule were meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This was not a secret meeting. Pictures of Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi were shared by the Prime Minister's Office on social media platforms. After this meeting, a new discussion has started in the political corridors. The central government is preparing to reintroduce the delimitation bill in the current monsoon session. The government is trying to get a two-thirds majority in parliament to pass this bill. Eight NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MPs can play an important role in the government's strategy. This is why the meeting of PM Modi and Sharad Pawar is considered very important politically. So far, no statement has been made by Sharad Pawar or Supriya Sule on the support of the delimitation bill.
