M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, has called for statewide black flag protests against the Centre's proposed delimitation amendment Bill. He views the Bill as a 'massive historic injustice' against southern states, particularly Tamil Nadu. The amendment seeks to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 850 and implement 33% reservation for women in Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha. However, the allocation of seats will be linked to population, which Stalin argues punishes southern states for adhering to family planning measures promoted by the Centre. He criticized the Union government for proceeding without consultation and warned of significant protests, invoking the DMK's historical movements. The issue has gained traction as Telangana's Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy echoed similar concerns, stating that marginalized communities would face injustice if the seat allocation favors northern states. This controversy comes at a crucial time, with assembly elections in Tamil Nadu scheduled for April 23.
