. NEW DELHI: Congress termed the convening of a “special session of Parliament” on April 16-18 a violation of the model code of conduct, accusing the BJP of trying to use the women’s quota bill to influence elections in Tamil Nadu and Bengal, which go to polls later this month.AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh said Congress opposes any “change in relative strength of states” in the Lok Sabha, criticising a “hasty proposal” for a “proportionate” increase in parliamentary seats. He said such a move would permanently disadvantage southern states like TN and Kerala vis-à-vis northern states, while also hurting north-eastern states, north-western states like Punjab, and smaller states. Ramesh said there have been informal inputs that the Modi government is planning a new delimitation law with a 50% increase in seats of all states in the Lok Sabha and assemblies.Quoting Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, Ramesh said seats in UP could rise to 120 from 80, while Kerala’s could increase to 30 from 20. The earlier gap of 60 seats would widen to 90, the Congress neta argued.“The opposition will take a joint stand, and the government’s strategy of dividing political parties will not succeed,” he said. Ramesh also dismissed the government’s argument linking quota and delimitation, citing the Registrar General of India’s statement that census results will be available in 2027.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Will Use India, Throw Under The Bus’: Ex-Pentagon Analyst Reveals US Policy Towards DelhiBangladesh PM Tarique Rahman To Visit India Soon As Delhi-Dhaka Reset Ties: ReportCongress Leader Anand Sharma Praises Modi Govt’s West Asia Diplomacy, Urges National Unity Amid WarIndian Navy Boosts Nuclear Deterrence With INS Aridhaman Submarine, Enforces Undersea Strike PowerWhy Did India-Bound Oil Tanker Carrying Iranian Crude Change Course At The Last Minute?India’s Medium Transport Aircraft Programme Gains Momentum, HAL Joins Global Firms In RaceBrahMos-Armed INS Taragiri Marks Major Leap In India’s Naval Strength And Self-RelianceWest Asia Crisis: India’s Balanced Approach Wins Global Trust As Pakistan’s Mediator Gamble Stumbles‘Ghar Wapsi Will Happen Soon’: Imam Ilyasi Predicts PoK ReunificationRajnath Singh’s ‘Decisive Action’ Warning Evokes Pakistan’s ‘Swift Response’: What Khawaja Asif Said123PhotostoriesIs your silver real or fake? 5 easy ways to test its purity at homePM Narendra Modi highlights ‘Modi Tea Stall’ in Puducherry: How chai holds India’s heartDipika Kakar gets emotional after cyst removal surgery, says “joh ye reoccurrence hua hai uske baad main thoda sa ghabra gayi hoon”7 saree styling hacks to look taller and slimmer instantlyRamayana actor Ravie Dubey’s wealth decoded: From luxury cars to a Rs 8 crore Mumbai penthouse, exploring his reported Rs 80 crore net worthNatasha Poonawalla and Adar Poonawalla: The power couple’s filmy love storyHow to prepare your car for extreme off-road conditionsYour feet might look normal, but there are hidden signs which indicate severe damage and disease: How to recognise them7 key residential areas in Jaipur shaping the city’s real estate market11 royal meal experiences at the Maharajas’ Express that are not to be missed123Hot PicksTravis KelceOliver rowlandKick StreamerTiger WoodsCSK vs PBKS PreviewPublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingOil Price TodayGood Friday 2026India Labour CodeRandy GeorgeLuigi MangioneGucci ManeRaghav ChaddaHailee SteinfeldSchool Holidays in AprilIran war news
