CM Vijay likely to move resolution in Assembly seeking freeze on Lok Sabha seats at 543
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is expected to move a resolution in the state Assembly demanding a freeze on Lok Sabha seats at the current strength of 543, opposing the proposed delimitation exercise based on population. He convened a meeting with Tamil Nadu MPs on August 8 at Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai to build consensus. The move aims to protect southern states' representation, which could be reduced if seats are reallocated based on population growth. This raises key federalism and constitutional issues under Article 82 and the 84th Amendment, making it highly relevant for polity and governance sections.
