31. The committee's strength — and its real story is who showed up. Every southern party that stormed out on introduction day has taken its seat, as we reported in our JPC constitution ledger. You cannot boycott the room where your state's map is drawn.
54. The votes the government fell short by in April. That number has not changed — the committee exists to change it, clause by clause, concession by concession.
850. The proposed Lok Sabha strength. The floor clause guarantees no state loses a single seat; the fight is now about proportional weight, not raw counts.
2031. The first general election that could be fought on new boundaries — and, chained to the same timeline, the first with one-third of seats reserved for women. Our women's reservation ledger explains why the two files are now one road.
December 19. The report deadline. Committees miss deadlines routinely; this one has a women's-reservation schedule and a census calendar stacked behind it. Every week of slippage is arithmetic someone owns. Follow the file on our politics desk.
