21 of 57 TN MPs attend CM Vijay’s meet, reject Delimitation Bill; DMK, AIADMK stay away
On Saturday, Tamil Nadu MPs unanimously decided to oppose the Centre's Delimitation Bill after Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay convened a meeting to assess its potential impact on the state. Congress MP Karti Chidambaram announced that around 21 out of 57 Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha MPs from Tamil Nadu attended the meeting and pledged to resist any changes to Tamil Nadu's parliamentary representation.
The chief minister had called for a gathering of all Tamil Nadu's MPs from both houses. Chidambaram emphasized that Tamil Nadu's rights must be protected, and the distribution of seats in Parliament should remain unchanged at 39. The opposition from the DMK and AIADMK was evident, with the latter labeling the meeting as a "farce" and a "drama," arguing that the ruling government lacked clarity on the issue.
