Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has thrown his support behind Tamil Nadu’s opposition to population-based delimitation, a move that diverges from the more reserved stance of his deputy. A delegation from Tamil Nadu has put forth a proposal for a joint action committee, with the objective of garnering participation from several states. The crux of the protest lies in allegations of unfair treatment towards southern states during the delimitation procedure. Siddaramaiah has denounced any actions that undermine the democratic fabric and federal structure of the country.
