# DMK, AIADMK to boycott Tamil Nadu CM’s all-party meet on delimitation 2026-08-08T07:40:39+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The DMK and AIADMK, along with their allies, have decided to skip Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's all-party meeting of MPs on Saturday (August 8, 2026) to discuss the Centre's proposed delimitation exercise. The DMK's Kanimozhi called the meeting a 'charade' and accused the CM of diverting attention from the Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka. She noted no Delimitation Bill has been officially tabled in the current Parliament session. Of the state's 57 MPs, only 20 are expected to attend, with Congress and its smaller allies among participants. The DMK has 30 MPs, the AIADMK four. The meet at Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai was called to formulate a unified response to the Bill, which seeks to expand the Lok Sabha to 850 seats and implement women's reservation. The Bill failed to secure a required two-thirds majority earlier. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - thehindu.com - timesnownews.com Tags: delimitation, DMK, Lok Sabha, political boycott, Tamil Nadu, Vijay Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/dmk-to-boycott-vijays-meet-on-delimitation-calls-it-a-charade/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
