Rahul Gandhi Opposes BJP's Proposed Delimitation, Urges Parties to Defeat Bill
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP's proposed delimitation exercise, calling it a conspiracy to weaken Tamil Nadu's political representation and disenfranchise its people. He urged all political parties, both regional and national, to oppose the bill, likening supporters to Ettappan, a symbol of betrayal in Tamil history. Gandhi emphasized the issue's importance for Tamil Nadu's future and political voice. The debate arises amid concerns that delimitation based on updated population data could reduce southern states' parliamentary influence.
