Parliament to be adjourned on April 2, to meet after assembly polls

NEW DELHI: Parliament is likely to be adjourned to a fixed date when the ongoing session ends on April 2 and not sine die, as is the practice, as govt looks to reconvene the two houses to present its bills for the rollout of women’s reservation in directly elected legislatures from the next Lok Sabha election.“We are likely to announce the date on which Parliament will meet when it is adjourned next week,” a senior govt functionary said on Saturday.With consultations within govt still going on, Parliament may meet after the polls in four states and one Union territory culminate on April 29.A fixed date for Parliament’s meeting to discuss what are likely to be two bills, one for delimitation based on 2011 census and another for amending constitutional provisions for the rollout of women’s quota in one-third of Lok Sabha and assembly seats, will convey the govt’s determination in no uncertain terms. That it will add to the buzz during the assembly polls, with parties assiduously wooing women voterswill be an added advantage for the governing NDA.
