Congress has hit out at the government for keeping Parliament in a 'ventilator' state — not formally prorogued even 25 days after adjournment.

Why? Jairam Ramesh says it's because the government is still scrambling for a two-thirds majority in Lok Sabha to push through Delimitation Bills. This isn’t the first time. Back in 2015, during a session disrupted over Lalit Modi, the government kept Parliament alive to push GST Bills; which also needed special majority. It eventually had to negotiate with the opposition. History seems to be repeating. This year’s Monsoon Session passed 12 bills; mostly without debate; amid protests over NEET leaks, Ram Temple funds, and student arrests. But the real story? The government’s quiet struggle to get constitutional amendments passed. In April, a Bill on women’s reservation linked to delimitation failed; needing 352 votes, it got only 298. That’s 54 votes short of what’s required. Now, with Parliament technically still open, the government might be buying time; but the opposition isn’t letting go. If they can't muster numbers even for a women’s reservation Bill, how will they pass delimitation changes? And why is Parliament being kept on life support? The answer might not be in the rules; but in the politics.
