Stalin skips PM’s Pamban Bridge event in Tamil Nadu, seeks assurance on fair delimitation
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide a clear public assurance that Tamil Nadu will not be disadvantaged in the proposed delimitation exercise, media reports said.
He insisted that states like Tamil Nadu, which have effectively curbed population growth, must not be punished with a reduced share of parliamentary seats.
“Standing on Tamil soil, the Prime Minister must give a clear guarantee: Tamil Nadu and other states that have successfully controlled population growth will not be penalised in the impending delimitation exercise. Their share of parliamentary seats in percentage terms will remain untouched,” Stalin said, reported India Today.
Stalin made the remarks while deliberately staying away from the inauguration of the new Pamban Bridge in Tamil Nadu, a high-profile event presided over by Prime Minister Modi.
His absence was seen as a political statement amid ongoing concerns in southern states about the implications of the planned redrawing of parliamentary constituencies.
