The Story in Brief
BJP MLA Bhojarajan has said there was no need for the Tamil Nadu Assembly's special resolution against delimitation, arguing that changes are inevitable and representation must follow population growth. Speaking in Chennai, he pointed to complexities such as the Nilgiris Lok Sabha constituency spanning four districts, and accused some parties of trying to divide the state along North-South lines.
Bhojarajan rejected VCK leader Vanniyarasu's suggestion that the Union Home Minister and Prime Minister would shift positions on the issue. He also criticised minister Adhav Arunraj's remarks. Stressing unity among political forces, he claimed a united Tamil Nadu could help a southerner become Prime Minister. “Change is the only permanent thing,” he said.
The Indian Opinion
The usual North-South framing is back, but the real question is whether population-based representation is unfair or simply arithmetic. Tamil Nadu’s fear of losing Lok Sabha seats ignores that every state gained or lost seats in 1971 is back on the table. Instead of slogans, watch for the actual data from the Delimitation Commission. If southern states grow their population, will their share still shrink? That number will settle the argument.
