India's delimitation bill needs two-thirds majority; FCRA bill expected this week

India’s government is lobbying parties to secure the two-thirds majority needed to pass a delimitation amendment increasing Lok Sabha seats, while the FCRA bill is also expected this week. The Constitutional (131st) Amendment, defeated earlier by the INDIA bloc, would raise Lok Sabha seats from 545 to 850. Minister Kiren Rijiju met Rahul Gandhi; DMK has offered conditional support, seeking statutory guarantees including proportional state representation. The FCRA Bill is likely this week, with Home Minister Amit Shah expected to speak, possibly addressing the July 20 incident. Some SP/JMM MPs may support or abstain, as UP could gain 40 seats.
