Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Writes to PM Modi, Seeks Permanent Freeze on Lok Sabha Strength at 543 Seats

Vijay urged constitutional changes to keep Lok Sabha seats at 543 and secure one-third reservation for women, citing a Tamil Nadu Assembly resolution.

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister has urged the Prime Minister to permanently fix Lok Sabha seats. He also requested women's reservation implementation without linking it to delimitation. Southern states fear reduced representation after the upcoming delimitation exercise. This exercise is based on updated census data and could expand the Lok Sabha. The Chief Minister's actions highlight concerns over parliamentary representation and gender equality.
