Chennai:
Union Minister Amit Shah said that while addressing the hot button issue of delimitation in the southern states today, it said that it will not reduce the number of seats there. “I want to assure the people of South India that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kept your interest in mind and will ensure that even one seat is not less. And whatever has increased, the southern states will get a reasonable part, There is no one, no one.
He was assured amid a major meeting on the delimitation and its effects called by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin.
“Today a meeting will be held to ensure that the south does not suffer due to delimitation. It has been clarified in the Lok Sabha that after delimitation, on the basis of Prof. Rata, not a single seat in any southern state will be low, “said Mr. Shah.
A slide in the number of parliamentary seats after population-based delimitation is a common concern in southern states where population control has been effective compared to states in the Northern Hindi belt.
South is worried that a small number of seats will stop their voice in Parliament and give North India an additional round.
In the last week, Tamil Nadu was boiling on the alleged “imposing Hindi and delimitation. Mr. Stalin had said that delimitation exercises would affect the southern states, especially Tamil Nadu due to their successful family planning program. Tamil Nadu, he claimed, stands to lose 8 of the 39 Lok Sabha seats.
