Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi stated that the centre cannot be trusted with a complete overhaul of the Parliament. She said the delimitation exercise was centre's ploy to stay in power. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which sought to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in legislatures by 2029 and increase the Lok Sabha’s strength from 543 to 816 seats following delimitation, was defeated in the House on April 17.
