Following the defeat of the delimitation bill in the Indian Parliament, M K Stalin (Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu) proclaimed it a victory for the state. In a post on social media platform X, he called for continued efforts to defeat the BJP and AIADMK in the upcoming elections, scheduled for April 23. Stalin criticized the Union government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for attempting to push the legislation, claiming it undermines fair representation and is politically motivated. He emphasized the need for the Women's Reservation Bill to be implemented separately from the delimitation process, stating that the current proposal lacks justice and transparency. Stalin warned that the sweeping powers given to the Delimitation Commission could allow the central government to manipulate state representation for its political gain. He urged the Union government to heed Tamil Nadu's demands and respect the federal spirit of the Constitution.
