Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
BJP and Congress traded accusations Sunday following the Constitutional Amendment Bill's defeat, which linked delimitation with women's reservation. BJP MP Anurag Thakur accused Congress of betraying women, while Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah countered that Congress opposed delimitation due to concerns about increased North Indian Lok Sabha seats, not women's reservation. Congress maintained it supports 33% female reservation but opposes delimitation changes.
