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.

Breaking: Pakistan Shuts Airspace, Indian Warships Move Towards Pakistan, Water War Begins

Pakistan has issued a maritime warning ahead of a missile test off the Karachi coast, intensifying tensions with India following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups and retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down key diplomatic and border ties. As Pakistan prepares surface-to-surface missile tests in the Arabian Sea, India has expelled Pakistani diplomats and ordered SAARC visa holders to leave. Both nations now scale down their embassies, raising fears of escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. #PakistanMissileTest #IndiaPakistanTensions #KarachiMissileLaunch #CrossBorderCrisis #KashmirAttack #IndusTreatySuspended #DiplomaticExpulsions #SAARC #ArabianSea #MilitaryStandoff #NuclearNeighbours #IndiaDefense #PakistanArmy #SurfaceToSurfaceMissiles #IndianHighCommission #WagahBorder #MissileWarning #ShehbazSharif #ModiGovt #IndiaPakistanNews #BreakingNews #GeoPolitics #MilitaryTensions #SouthAsia #MissileLaunchAlert #Terrorism #DefensePolicy #SecurityConcerns #NuclearThreat #IndoPakConflict Also Read Warming Arabian Sea Linked to Devastating Landslides in Kerala's Wayanad :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/arabian-sea-warming-triggers-wayanad-landslides-011-3893345.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Navy Assists Fishing Vessel With Pakistani Crew In Arabian Sea - Check Details :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-navy-assists-fishing-vessel-with-pakistani-crew-in-arabian-sea-check-details-3816111.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack on Portuguese Ship in Arabian Sea Raises Security Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/portuguese-flagged-ship-attacked-arabian-sea-houthi-rebel-threat-011-3813191.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.194~
