Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power?

The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states.

The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh.

With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence.

Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth.

For over two decades, a shocking tale has circulated — a mother’s claim that her daughter, Ananya Bhat, went missing in Dharmasthala under the shadow of powerful forces. But the SIT investigation paints a very different picture. No medical college records, no CBI job files, no hospital admission logs — not even acquaintances recalling a daughter. Even the so-called grave evidence collapsed, with forensic tests confirming the remains were male. #Dharmasthala #DharmasthalaControversy #DharmasthalaSITProbe #Karnataka #HinduReligion #SocialMediaTruth #Heritage #BreakingNews #Dharmasthala #DharmasthalaControversy #SITInvestigation #KarnatakaNews #TruthVsPropaganda #IndianTemples #SouthIndiaNews
