New Delhi, Nov. 13: Union Home Minister Amit Shah has expressed confidence that Parliament will pass the Delimitation Bill during a special session expected later this month.
Shah said the proposed Constitutional Amendment Bill requires a two-thirds majority for approval. He claimed the ruling alliance has 15 to 18 votes more than the required strength.
During an informal interaction with media representatives, Shah indicated that the special session could begin on November 24 or 25.
