TN parties clash on delimitation: CM grilled over ‘no’ vs ‘fair’ stand
Leader of opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin asked whether the CM and his govt had shifted from the anti-delimitation resolution passed by the House.
Tamil Nadu's assembly erupted in heated debate on delimitation on Friday, with the opposition challenging Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's position. Udhayanidhi Stalin questioned why Vijay's earlier speech at a Union home minister meeting did not reaffirm the state's demand to keep Lok Sabha seats frozen at 543. The opposition insisted that Tamil Nadu's 39 Lok Sabha seats should maintain their 7.18% share of parliamentary representation.
PWD Minister Aadhav Arjuna reaffirmed the government's commitment to freezing Lok Sabha seats, citing past extensions during Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee governments.
