# KTR Opposes Linking Women’s Quota With Delimitation 2026-08-07T19:57:17+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K.T. Rama Rao has called it “unwise” to link women’s reservation with delimitation. Speaking to The Hindu, he said any redrawing of Lok Sabha constituencies must protect the southern States’ existing 24% share of representation. He proposed increasing Assembly seats from more than 4,000 to 6,000 while keeping Parliament’s current balance unchanged. Mr. Rao also described student protests over the NEET question paper leak as an inflection point in Indian politics. He said the demonstrations reflected wider public frustration and argued that the BJP still had time to regain young voters. He also criticised Opposition parties for failing to inspire confidence. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: delimitation, K.T.
