The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is launching a "Mission 360" drive to secure the majority needed for a key constitutional amendment [1].

This effort is critical because the proposed Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill requires a two-thirds majority to pass [2]. If successful, the bill would link women's reservation to the delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies, fundamentally altering the structure of India's lower house.

The strategy comes as the government prepares for the Monsoon Session of Parliament, which begins July 20, 2026 [2]. To coordinate this push, an all-party meeting was convened July 19, 2026 [1]. Additionally, the NDA parliamentary party scheduled a meeting for July 21, 2026 [1] to align its members before the legislative vote.

The government faces a steep climb to reach the necessary 66.7% of total members required for a constitutional amendment [2]. This drive follows a previous special session where the Delimitation Bill failed to secure the required two-thirds majority [3].

To bridge the gap, the NDA must win over opposition parties. The Samajwadi Party, DMK, and Trinamool Congress are viewed as holding the key to the NDA's success in reaching the threshold [1]. Without their support, the government may struggle to implement the reservation through the delimitation of seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA leadership are prioritizing this legislative goal to ensure the women's reservation is tied to the redrawing of electoral boundaries. The outcome of the upcoming session will determine if the administration can successfully push through this structural change to the Indian parliamentary system [1, 2].

“The BJP-led NDA is launching a ‘Mission 360’ drive to win the two‑thirds majority.”

The 'Mission 360' strategy highlights the NDA's struggle to maintain a supermajority in a fragmented parliament. By linking women's reservation to delimitation, the government is attempting to solve two structural issues simultaneously, but the reliance on opposition parties like the DMK and TMC suggests that the final version of the bill may require significant political concessions.
