In MK Stalin’s Delimitation Push, A “Sword Of Damocles” Warning From Ally

New Delhi:

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin hosted the first meeting of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) on delimitation in Chennai today. The event, attended by leaders from multiple states, marked the beginning of what Mr Stalin described as a “national movement” to ensure fair representation in Parliament. The meeting also drew criticism from the BJP, which accused the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of diverting attention from domestic governance issues under the guise of a political struggle.

Push For “Fair Delimitation”

At the heart of the controversy lies the impending parliamentary seat delimitation exercise, which is expected to follow the next national census. According to current projections, southern states – including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana – stand to lose representation in Parliament due to their success in population control. In contrast, northern states with higher population growth could gain seats.
