With only four working days left for the monsoon session of Parliament to conclude, all eyes are on the scheduled meeting of the Lok Sabha Business Advisory Committee (BAC) on Monday to see if the government will reintroduce the pending delimitation and women’s reservation Bill agendas in this session.The BAC of the Lower House has been called tomorrow to finalise the legislative agenda for the remainder of the session, with the Foreign Contribution Regulation (Amendment) Bill and the 131st Constitution Amendment Bill on 33 per cent women’s quota in the Lok Sabha still pending.Speaking to The Tribune on Jattvibeday, rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar said no decision had been taken on the women’s reservation Bill yet. “We will have some clarity after the Lok Sabha Business Advisory Committee meeting on Monday at 1 pm,” she said, adding that all her colleagues will back the NDA agenda.Ahead of the Monday meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju used the example of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) to nudge other parties to support the women’s reservation Bill.“We wholeheartedly welcome the very important decision taken by SAD, following the example set by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). We must come together to empower women with a fair and equitable delimitation that ensures equal representation,” the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said as the government may make a fresh attempt to reintroduce the key agenda, which requires a special majority of the two-thirds of MPs present and voting, for passage.Rijiju said the Shiromani Akali Dal’s support for the immediate implementation of the women’s reservation Bill and a fair, equitable delimitation, ensuring equal representation for all States, sends a strong message.“This is a positive approach in the larger national interest. A uniform 50 per cent increase in seats across all states is a constructive step towards wider representation,” he said.The government is learnt to be reworking the previous version of the Bill that was defeated earlier to ensure wider support this time.MK Stalin-led DMK has also shown flexibility by saying that they will take a call on supporting it once the reworked Bill was placed in the public domain for review.NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule has already said that if the Lok Sabha seats for all states rise in proportion, the party would consider the Bill.Twenty rebel MPs of the TMC and six rebel MPs of the Shiv Sena (UBT) — who have since extended support to the NDA — have already bolstered the government numbers in the Lok Sabha. But the special majority is still far from the NDA’s reach unless opposing segments abstain, artificially reducing the overall strength of the House and hence the special majority mark.A united Opposition had defeated the Bill in the previous special session convened on April 17. The Bill had fallen short of the two-thirds majority of MPs present and voting (a requirement to pass a constitutional amendment agenda) and fell by 278 votes in favour to 211 against. There were 489 MPs present and voting at the time.Rebel MPs boost NDA’s Tally in Lok SabhaDue to three vacancies, the current effective strength of the Lok Sabha is 540. If everyone votes, the two-thirds mark is 360The NDA has the support of 320 MPs, including 20 TMC rebels, 6 Shiv Sena (UBT) rebel MPs and one Shiromani Akali Dal MPFour YSRCP MPs supported the Bill earlier, so they will do so again, taking the NDA numbers to 324Now, the stand of the DMK (22) and the NCP (SP) (8) will be crucialGovt still short of 6 Rajya Sabha membersWith an effective strength of 244 MPs; the current two-thirds mark in the Rajya Sabha is 164NDA has 154 MPs & can expect support from 4 YSRCP MPsThus, the NDA’s current RS tally is 158 MPs, six short of the special majority needed to pass Constitution Amendment Bill
