The Central Government has been busy gathering numbers for a long time to pass the Delimitation Bill. Meanwhile, a relief news has emerged for the Central Government. NCP of Sharad group has now announced its support to this bill. Sharad faction MP Supriya Sule said on Saturday that her party is ready to support the BJP's proposal to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats by 50 percent.
Sule said that BJP had called opposition leaders to discuss the delimitation bill, in which they said that the Lok Sabha seats of all the states will be increased by 50 percent. Sule made it clear that his party has not yet taken a formal decision to support this bill. The party has not yet received the official copy of the proposed bill. He said that our party also wants to discuss this proposal with the allies of Indi alliance. If all parties agree to this then we are also ready to support it.
Party wants both women's reservation and delimitation bills
Supriya says that her party wants to see both the delimitation and women's reservation bills passed, for which it is necessary to build a broad consensus. Supporting the proposal to increase Lok Sabha seats, he said that due to small constituencies it will be easy to reach the voters. Administration and development work will also become easier with this.
Explained the need by giving the example of Baramati
Supriya Sule gave the example of her Baramati Lok Sabha constituency. He said that earlier the number of voters here was around 10-12 lakh, now the number of voters has increased to 20-22 lakh. He said that it has become very difficult to reach every village and area in such a large area. It is not possible to meet the needs of every area with Rs 5 crore of the Parliament Fund.
