Telangana parties slam Union Minister Amit Shah's remarks on delimitation

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah's assurance that the southern states will not lose a single parliamentary seat due to delimitation drew sharp criticism on Thursday from the ruling Congress and opposition BRS in Telangana. Amit Shah had on Wednesday assured the southern states that they will not lose a "single parliamentary seat" due to delimitation and accused Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin of spreading "misinformation" on the issue. The union minister was reacting to Stalin's remarks that the delimitation exercise would impact the southern states, especially Tamil Nadu, which the chief minister claimed stands to lose 8 out of its 39 Lok Sabha seats. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, earlier this month in Thiruvananthapuram, said the move to undertake the delimitation of Lok Sabha seats based on the new operational census is yet another step by the Centre to "sideline" South Indian states.
