NCP delegation to meet Modi as Congress pushes to separate women's quota from delimitation

During the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, a delegation of eight MPs from Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party is scheduled to confer with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Led by party MP Supriya Sule, the group intends to highlight a range of concerns affecting the state of Maharashtra. Concurrently, the Congress party has appealed to its partners in the INDIA bloc to reject any proposal that ties the implementation of women's reservation to the forthcoming delimitation of constituencies.

Congress argues that the two issues should be addressed independently to avoid conflating social policy with electoral restructuring. The stance underscores intra-bloc negotiations ahead of potential reforms. Both developments occur as the government navigates multiple legislative priorities during the session.
