Shinde Meets Shah to Discuss Constitution Amendment for 850 Lok Sabha Seats
On July 15, 2026, Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader, met Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, to discuss the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill aiming to increase Lok Sabha seats to 850. The BJP seeks a two-thirds majority in Parliament for approval but faces opposition from parties like Congress and NCP. Speculation arose after Supriya Sule of NCP suggested her party might support a uniform 50% seat increase if conditions are met, while maintaining that any decision would be made with INDIA bloc partners. BJP aims to secure necessary numbers by engaging regional parties before the Monsoon Session begins on July 20.
