Delimitation Debate: Why Siddaramaiah, MK Stalin fear losing political clout in South – ‘like a knife hanging on’

Live Mint  

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah joined the chorus against delimitation on Thursday and described Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on the contentious issue as “not trustworthy.” Siddaramaiah accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of using delimitation as a weapon to “silence” the southern states. “If the Union government genuinely wishes to ensure fairness for the southern states, the home minister must clarify whether delimitation will be based on the latest population ratio or on the current number of Lok Sabha seats,” Siddaramaiah said in a statement. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it clear in the Lok Sabha that even after delimitation, the seats of none of the states of the south will be decreased,” Shah said. Shah’s comments came after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin expressed objection to delimitation, saying that the process must not penalise states that have successfully managed population growth. Siddaramaiah said if the delimitation exercise is based on the latest census, then southern states, including Karnataka, will see either a reduction or stagnation in the number of Lok Sabha seats while the northern states gain more seats.
