Additionally, the party wants a Schedule of the number of seats that each State will have in the legislative package, as per sources in the DMK. A top DMK leader said that the government has not yet approached them on the issue either “formally or informally”. Though the government doesn’t have the two-thirds majority yet to push through a constitutional amendment, the political situation has changed since April 17, when the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill was defeated on the floor of the House. In the present 540-member Lok Sabha, the two-thirds majority mark is 360, and if 22 Lok Sabha members of the DMK vote for the Bill, the government’s strength would go up to 346. If the government brings the Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it will find it easier to reach the two-thirds majority mark.
