The Congress on Wednesday (March 30, 2026) claimed that the Modi Government is proposing to “bulldoze” a bill to increase the size of the Lok Sabha by 50% with the number of seats allocated to each State also to be increased by 50% and said such a move would “disadvantage” smaller States in the South, Northeast and West.
There was no official word on the Opposition party’s claims.
