Counting matters: On delimitation, federalism, the Census

Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has opposed the Indian government's delimitation plan, arguing it would unfairly disadvantage southern states like Tamil Nadu that have controlled population growth.
Stalin stated that redrawing constituencies based solely on population would undermine Tamil Nadu's political influence and potentially harm its welfare schemes.
He plans an all-party meeting on March 5 to discuss the implications of delimitation, emphasizing that the state will resist any changes detrimental to its interests.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured that the delimitation process would not lead to injustice against southern states, but concerns remain about unequal representation.
