What happened
Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal has said that the INDIA bloc and other opposition parties will resist any attempt to alter the constitutional balance or undermine federalism. His remarks come ahead of the Monsoon Session, where a bill on delimitation is expected to be introduced again.
UPSC may frame the delimitation issue around Parliament’s law-making process, the constitutional logic of delimitation, and the political implications for federal balance. Candidates should connect the immediate parliamentary dispute with the broader themes of representative democracy, federalism, and institutional negotiation.
