NEW DELHI: Congress on Friday mounted its attack against the centre over the delay in prorogation of Parliament after it adjourned sine die, accusing the government of plotting a “super tainted two-third majority” to get the Delimitation Bill passed in Lok Sabha.In a social media post on X, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the gap between the adjournment of Parliament sine die and its prorogation has reached 29 days.“So today the Modi govt has set a new record, bettering its own set in 2015. The gap between the adjournment of Parliament sine die and its prorogation has reached 29 days. The gap for the 2015 Monsoon Session was 28 days. The gap for the 2026 Monsoon Session is increasing by the day with no clear prospect for its early prorogation. Normally the gap is just three-four days,” Jairam Ramesh said.“It is abundantly clear that the Union home minister was severely wounded by the stunning defeat he had inflicted on himself and his govt with his staggering arrogance in the Lok Sabha on April 17, 2026. He is now plotting a comeback to secure a super-tainted two-thirds majority to get the Constitution Amendment Bill passed in the Lok Sabha. He has already engineered a split in three parties that had voted against the Bill on April 17, 2026, and is using threats, intimidation and incentives to get others (who had also voted against the Bill) to change their stance. The Union home minister does not have the numbers but his bravado, bluff and bluster will not let him read the writing on the wall,” he added.The Congress leader said that the government is keeping the suspense going, thinking that the opposition will get rattled.“By not proroguing the Monsoon Session, the self-styled Chanakya may think he is playing mind games and indulging in psy-ops. But this is silly since the govt can convene a session any time it wants to for any purpose. He is just keeping the suspense going, thinking that the opposition will get rattled. He can continue to hallucinate,” Jairam Ramesh said.“Why is the Modi govt refusing to convene an All-Party meeting to discuss its proposals for delimitation so as to build the broadest possible consensus – which is what the country needs? This has been the consistent demand of all opposition Parties since mid-March 2026. Why this secrecy and mystery on a subject that is of profound importance to the very fundamentals of the Indian Republic?” he questioned.

This comes as Congress has been questioning the delay in proroguing Parliament’s Monsoon session, saying “something fishy” was going on and the government was trying to conjure up a “super-tainted” two-thirds majority, but it would not succeed in achieving that.During the Budget session on April 17, the Modi government faced a setback as the Constitution amendment bill, involving delimitation, for the implementation of the women’s reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was defeated in the Lower House.Of the 528 MPs who voted, 298 voted in support, while 230 opposed it. The bill required 352 votes for a two-thirds majority.
