Tamil Nadu CM to Move Assembly Resolution Seeking Freeze on Lok Sabha Seats
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay plans to move a resolution in the state Assembly seeking to freeze the Lok Sabha seats at 543 and maintain the current inter-State seat distribution. The resolution also urges implementing 33% reservation for women in the 2029 general elections. This follows a meeting of Tamil Nadu MPs, which some parties boycotted, expressing concerns over the proposed delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census that could affect southern states' representation.
