Telangana: Delimitation Bill chances bleak
Posted November 15th, 2017, 11:01 AM IST
The procedure is for the Union home ministry (being the nodal ministry for state affairs) to prepare a note on the proposed legislation and send it to the PMO, which approves it for inclusion in the agenda of the weekly Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet must approve the bill before it is introduced in either House of Parliament. Sources say that the Union Cabinet’s ‘Inter-State Wing’ has prepared the note, which suggests a simple amendment of Section 26 of the AP Reorganisation Act by replacing the words ‘subject to Article 170 of Constitution’ with ‘Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 170 of the Constitution.’
Such an amendment to the Act can be passed with a simple majority in both the Houses of Parliament and there was no need to consider this as a Constitutional Amendment.
“We told Rajnath Singh that the UPA government brought Section 26 in the Act with the good intention of bringing more political stability in the two Telugu states. It is for the NDA government to fulfil its obligation by bringing a simple amendment at least now,” Mr Vinod Kumar told DC. Sources said once Parliament passes the amendment to Section 26, it will take a minimum of six months for the Election Commission to make fresh delimitation, paving the way for increasing the seats from 175 to 225 in AP and 119 to 153 in TS.
