CM Vijay likely to move resolution in Assembly seeking freeze on Lok Sabha seats at 543
Vijay had on August 8 convened a meeting with Members of Parliament from Tamil Nadu at Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay is set to introduce a resolution in the state Assembly on August 11, 2026, calling for the preservation of the Lok Sabha's current size at 543 seats, along with retaining the existing distribution of seats across states. This comes after Vijay convened a meeting of Tamil Nadu's Members of Parliament on August 8, where it was agreed to table the resolution to safeguard the interests of the southern state.
The resolution may also highlight the need to maintain the current ratio of 2.2 Lok Sabha seats for every Rajya Sabha seat, and to introduce a 33% reservation for women in the 2029 Lok Sabha and future Assembly polls, all without delay, based on the current seat distribution.
