Supriya Sule downplays BJP crossover buzz but drops a big hint
Supriya Sule, working president of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), indicated her party might support the Centre's delimitation Bill if it increases Lok Sabha seats by 50% across states. Her comments come amid speculation of a potential alliance between sections of the NCP(SP) and the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). As Parliament prepares to reconvene on July 20, the Modi government is intensifying efforts to secure a two-thirds majority for a constitutional amendment Bill aimed at advancing women's reservation until 2029.
