india π€ CM Vijay's delimitation talk sparks political drama
Tamil Nadu CM C. Joseph Vijay's comments on delimitation at the 31st Southern Zonal Council Meeting in Mamallapuram caused a political uproar. He asked the Union government for assurance that no state would lose parliamentary representation due to population stabilization. This differed from the Tamil Nadu Assembly resolution on August 12, which called for a freeze on 543 Lok Sabha seats. Opposition parties, including DMK, questioned his shift from the assembly's stance. Law Minister C.T.R. Nirmalkumar later clarified the state government's consistent demand to 'Freeze 543 & 39 for TN.'
