TDP & JDS join other NDA allies in backing bills

NEW DELHI: NDA allies offered full support to the three bills during the Lok Sabha debate on Friday.Southern ally TDP’s floor leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu said his party would back the bills to pave way for delimitation and women’s reservation, based on the “guarantee” given by home minister Amit Shah and PM Modi.He referred to Shah’s remarks in the House on Thursday that there would be a 50% proportionate increase in seats in each state, with LS seats in Andhra Pradesh expected to rise from 25 to 38.Extending support, JDS’s HD Kumaraswamy termed DMK’s opposition to the women’s bill amendment as “fear mongering”, saying it was misleading to claim southern states would lose out. He added that Congress had lost touch with the grassroots and was unprepared for the changes the bills would bring.Other allies also backed the bills. Union minister and JDU neta Rajiv Ranjan Singh said the amendment was not rushed, noting the govt took three years after groundwork. Union minister Anupriya Patel said the bills offered an opportunity to create history and urged all members to support them.
