Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, the leader of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, has introduced a motion in the Lok Sabha opposing the introduction of three significant government bills, including the Delimitation Bill, 2026. This bill seeks to revise constituency boundaries based on the 2011 census, a move that has sparked protests led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. Stalin publicly burned a copy of the bill, describing it as a threat to Tamil representation and igniting a statewide agitation against it. The opposition, including Congress MP Manish Tewari, has voiced strong concerns about the bill's implications for India's federal structure, warning that it could widen the gap between populous and less populous states. The government is also proposing to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to a maximum of 850, which has further fueled opposition fears regarding representation. While the government seeks support for the women's reservation amendment to take effect in the 2029 elections, opposition parties have expressed their backing for women's reservation but remain firmly against the Delimitation Bill.
