The Centre is actively considering reviving the Delimitation Bill to complete constituency redrawing before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Consultations with regional parties like the DMK and TMC are underway to garner political consensus on this electoral reform. The government may reintroduce the Delimitation Bill in the upcoming Monsoon Session after consultations with key stakeholders.
Many TMC MPs have shown support for delimitation, aiming to address concerns about parliamentary representation. The DMK, previously cautious about delimitation’s impact on southern states, is awaiting a fresh draft of the Bill. The Centre is proceeding cautiously, seeking broad consensus across party lines before legislative action.
Delimitation involves redrawing constituency boundaries based on demographic changes. The Centre is also discussing “One Nation, One Election” with political parties, focusing on electoral restructuring and governance reforms. If political consensus is achieved, the Delimitation Bill’s revival could reshape India’s electoral map before the next general election.
