DC Edit | Go beyond Assembly resolutions

The Telangana Assembly passed a resolution opposing the Centre’s proposal to carry out delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies. This comes in the wake of a similar resolution passed in the Tamil Nadu Assembly against the process of delimitation based on the sole criterion of population numbers. The Tamil Nadu Assembly also passed a resolution against the Waqf Bill while pointing out that it would be unfair to Muslims. Of course, Tamil Nadu may have set a record of sorts in having also passed resolutions against the national applicability of the medical entrance test Neet, the sharing of Cauvery waters by Karnataka, the “One Nation, One Poll” proposal and the UGC draft regulations, all of them quite recently. Even so, they do carry a strong political message on how different viewpoints on many crucial issues that have a bearing on the nation and the states are being ignored while the ruling alliance at the Centre goes ahead passing Bills with its majority in Parliament.
