Published: Mar 01 2025, 6 pmeznews.inDelimitation, the process of redrawing Lok Sabha and Assembly constituency boundaries based on population shifts, has sparked significant political controversy in Tamil Nadu and South India. Chief Minister MK Stalin has convened an all-party meeting on March 5 to address concerns surrounding the 2026 delimitation exercise, which many southern states view as a looming threat. The Indian Constitution mandates this process under Articles 82 and 170, with past delimitation occurring in 1952, 1963, 1973, and 2002. Historically, the allocation of seats was frozen during the 1976 Emergency, leading to ongoing apprehension among southern states about losing representation. As India's population is projected to reach 1.42 billion by 2026, northern states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are expected to gain seats, while southern states face minimal changes, with Tamil Nadu potentially increasing from 39 to 41 seats. Union Minister Amit Shah has reassured southern states that their representation will not be adversely affected.
