Taking a swipe at the Modi government, the Congress on Friday (September 11, 2026) said it has set a new record for the delay in prorogation of Parliament after it adjourned sine die and alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah is now plotting to secure a “super-tainted” two-thirds majority to get the Constitution Amendment Bill involving delimitation passed in the Lok Sabha.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also asked why is the Modi government refusing to convene an all-party meeting to discuss its proposals for delimitation so as to build the broadest possible consensus. “By not proroguing the Monsoon Session, the self-styled Chanakya may think he is playing mind games and indulging in psy-ops. But this is silly since the government can convene a session any time it wants to for any purpose,” Mr. “Why is the Modi government refusing to convene an All-Party meeting to discuss its proposals for delimitation so as to build the broadest possible consensus – which is what the country needs?
“So today the Modi government has set a new record, bettering its own set in 2015. The gap between the adjournment of Parliament sine die and its prorogation has reached 29 days. The gap for the 2015 Monsoon Session was 28 days,” Mr. This has been the consistent demand of all Opposition Parties since mid-March 2026,” Mr.
Ramesh said on X. “The gap for the 2026 Monsoon Session is increasing by the day with no clear prospect for its early prorogation,” he said, adding that normally the gap is just three-four days “It is abundantly clear that the Union Home Minister was severely wounded by the stunning defeat he had inflicted on himself and his Govt with his staggering arrogance in the Lok Sabha on April 17, 2026,” Mr. “The Union Home Minister does not have the numbers but his “bravado, bluff and bluster” will not let him read the writing on the wall,” Mr.
“Mr.
Shah is just keeping the suspense going thinking that the Opposition will get rattled,” the Congress general secretary said, adding that the home minister can “continue to hallucinate”.
