In a recent development in Chennai, an all-party meeting spearheaded by Chief Minister M K Stalin expressed strong opposition towards the population-based delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies. The attendees raised concerns that such a move could potentially diminish the representation of southern states in the parliament as a consequence of their effective population control measures. The resolution put forth during the meeting called upon Prime Minister Modi to prolong the utilization of the 1971 census data for delimitation purposes for an additional 30 years. Furthermore, the attendees proposed the implementation of a constitutional amendment to facilitate an equitable increase in the number of seats allocated to southern states. This pushback against population-based delimitation highlights the significance of maintaining fair representation for all regions within the Indian political landscape.
