Delimitation row: CM Vijay moves resolution to freeze Lok Sabha Seats at 543

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has moved a special resolution in the state Assembly, urging the Centre to retain the Lok Sabha’s strength at 543 seats permanently. The resolution also calls for the implementation of 33% reservation for women in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections without delay, based on the current strength of 543 constituencies.

Additionally, the resolution demands that the constituency delimitation process be carried out immediately, as it has not been done for the last 50 years, with the next census scheduled for 2026.
