Karnataka’s Deputy CM Rejects Delimitation Plan, Vows Legal Challenge Against Central Government
Karnataka’s Deputy CM Opposes Nationwide Delimitation: A Political Controversy Unfolds
In a bold move that has stirred the political waters of Karnataka, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has openly opposed the proposed nationwide delimitation exercise. This initiative, aimed at redrawing the boundaries of parliamentary and assembly constituencies, has raised concerns among leaders in southern states, who fear it could lead to a reduction in their Lok Sabha seats.
Shivakumar’s Stance
Shivakumar accused the central government of engineering a move that would disproportionately affect southern states, particularly Karnataka. He has vowed to challenge this delimitation exercise in court, asserting that it threatens the political representation of the region. “We cannot allow our voices to be silenced,” he stated emphatically during a recent press conference.
CM Siddaramaiah’s Demand for Clarity
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has joined the chorus of dissent, demanding clarity on the delimitation process. He expressed his apprehensions about potential disadvantages for southern regions, echoing the concerns raised by Shivakumar. The CM emphasized the need for transparency and fairness in the implementation of such significant changes.
The Broader Implications
The delimitation exercise, if implemented, could reshape the political landscape across India. Southern states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala have historically had a larger representation in Parliament, and any reduction could have lasting effects on their political power and resource allocation.
