Congress launches fierce attack on Home Minister Amit Shah over delimitation issue

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has targeted Home Minister Amit Shah on the issue of delimitation, stating that the Home Minister has revived this subject. According to a report by Amar Ujala, Jairam Ramesh criticised the Home Minister, noting that Amit Shah brought up the issue of delimitation again during an informal conversation with a group of journalists today.

Jairam Ramesh claimed that the government is preparing to convene a special three-day session to pass bills related to women's reservation and delimitation. Amit Shah told journalists this afternoon that a special session will be called soon and these bills will be passed with a margin of 15 to 18 votes. Regarding this, Ramesh added that the Home Minister had made similar remarks seven months ago.

Recalling past events, Ramesh said that on 17 April, the Home Minister faced an insulting defeat in the Lok Sabha. At that time, the government trailed by more than 50 votes in the voting on this subject. In this context, the Congress leader launched a fierce attack on Amit Shah, saying he is a master of only false claims and bluster. He further added that his bulldozer did not work then and will not work now.

Jairam Ramesh dismissed the Home Minister's statements as mere empty talk. Questions have been raised by the opposition regarding the possibility shown by the government of calling a special session in the near future. Especially when the government suffered a major defeat in previous voting, Congress has reacted sharply to the claim that the bills will now be passed with a margin of 15 to 18 votes.
