Shashi Tharoor has criticised the Centre after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha, alleging it was a calculated political move. The Congress leader argued that the provision for 33% reservation for women should not have been tied to the contentious issue of delimitation. He maintained that while his party fully supports immediate implementation of women’s reservation, delimitation requires deeper discussion and consensus due to its long-term implications. Tharoor accused the BJP of attempting to derive political mileage by linking the two issues. He also called for a comprehensive, all-party consultation on delimitation before any future steps are taken.
