# Manish Tewari says Delimitation Bill benefits Central India 2026-08-09T10:49:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress MP Manish Tewari has said the Delimitation Bill will primarily benefit Central India at the expense of other regions. Speaking on the proposed redrawing of Lok Sabha constituencies, he argued that the North, North-East and South India stand to lose political weight, even as the country’s strategic challenges are concentrated in the north and north-east. On women’s reservation, Tewari suggested the government could simply reserve one-third of the existing 543 seats instead of expanding the House to 850 members, comparing the larger size to China’s National People’s Congress. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: central India, Delimitation Bill, Indian Parliament, Lok Sabha, Manish Tewari, women’s reservation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/manish-tewari-says-delimitation-bill-benefits-central-india/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
