Southern states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka are addressing concerns over delimitation linked to population growth. Leaders such as Andhra Pradesh's N Chandrababu Naidu and Tamil Nadu's C. Joseph Vijay have encouraged higher birth rates or extended maternity benefits. Tamil Nadu's assembly, supported by the DMK, passed a resolution opposing delimitation changes that could reduce their parliamentary representation due to slower population growth compared to northern states.
