Karti Chidambaram Questions DMK's Position on Delimitation Bill and Ram Mandir Trust
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram questioned the DMK's changing stance on the proposed Delimitation Bill, urging the party to clarify its position. He argued that while seat increases appear proportionate, the absolute rise would widen representation gaps between northern and southern states, potentially diminishing southern influence. Chidambaram also expressed concerns that expanding Lok Sabha seats could reduce parliamentary effectiveness. Additionally, he suggested public scrutiny of the Ram Mandir trust, including a CAG audit and parliamentary discussion.
