  "account": "Mumbai, NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule has stated that the government has not presented any new proposal concerning delimitation. This comes after an informal meeting six months ago where a uniform 50 per cent seat increase across all states was reportedly discussed. The leaders present, which included Sule, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant, and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, believed the suggestion was reasonable given the significant rise in electorate sizes. Sule pointed out that in her constituency, voter numbers have surged from 12-13 lakh to 25-30 lakh, and in some Maharashtra regions, they have even reached 40 lakh.\n\nSule questioned how a single representative could effectively serve such a large population, emphasizing that unless someone were Superman or Batman, managing 40 lakh people with an MPLADS fund of Rs 5 crore is practically unsustainable. She affirmed that her party had already expressed readiness to consider a uniform, flat-rate increase across the country, and her party, the Nationalist Congress Party, had previously indicated it would support such measures taken in the larger interest of the nation. Despite this, Sule clarified that the center's initial proposal aimed to increase seats uniformly across all states, not based on population. Her party has not received any fresh proposal or Bill regarding delimitation and would consult its alliance partners before considering any such proposal. Sule emphasized the need to prioritize women's reservation, stating that it should be given priority while undertaking delimitation.",
