India's Kiren Rijiju asks Rahul Gandhi to back delimitation bill to quicken women's reservation

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju urged Rahul Gandhi to support the delimitation bill, saying it would quicken women's reservation; Gandhi gave no commitment. Rijiju made this appeal for the third time during the session. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill failed in April. Gandhi asked for time to consult Congress allies and INDIA bloc before responding. Congress insisted its stance is unchanged; opposition previously defeated the bill over concerns that delimitation could let the government redraw political maps under the guise of women's reservation.
