KC Venugopal reveals party's plans on a day when Telangana assembly adopted a resolution against delimitation, saying southern states shouldn't be penalised for population control.
The UP CM had said that DMK was trying to divide the country on the basis of region & language. Stalin posted on X that Yogi’s comments were ‘political black comedy at its darkest’.
Speaking to ThePrint, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi addresses the proposed delimitation, 3-language policy & rejects the notion that oppn states voicing concerns creates a north-south divide.
Southern states have expressed concerns that delimitation in its current form would reduce their representation in the Lok Sabha. Punjab CM was present, too. TMC & YSRCP skipped the meet.
The YSRCP chief's letter, dated 21 March, was made public on the same day as the meeting hosted by DMK. Jagan asked Modi to ensure no state's representation in LS is reduced.
Stalin opposed population-based constituency delimitation, arguing it would unfairly impact states like Tamil Nadu, which have made significant efforts to control population growth.
Speaking at Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha in Bengaluru, Sah Sarkaryavah CR Mukund says opposition to the language, delimitation & other issues is ‘politically motivated’.
On one hand, there are clear benefits to administratively dividing a state. On the other, loss of support from core voters puts their leadership opportunities at risk.
The Joint Action Committee that Stalin has proposed isn’t just symbolic. It could become a rallying point for a larger North Vs South political showdown over delimitation.
Many offices in Telangana have asked their employees to work from home because of heavy rainfall, but it has become impossible due to the internet outages.
