AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami told the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Wednesday that his party opposes the resolution moved by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on delimitation, calling it politically motivated. He supported only the part demanding 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament and state legislatures. Palaniswami reiterated the AIADMK's position that Tamil Nadu, which has controlled its population growth, should not lose parliamentary seats. He said if the state's current 7.18 per cent share is maintained, it could gain about 20 Lok Sabha seats, taking the total to 59. The AIADMK demands that existing representation not be reduced and be increased by 50 per cent.
