A meeting of Tamil Nadu MPs, led by Chief Minister Vijay, concluded with a unanimous vote against the central government's delimitation proposal and in favor of keeping the Lok Sabha at 543 seats.
The Tamil Nadu delegation of Members of Parliament gathered in a special session led by Chief Minister Vijay to discuss the Union government's recent delimitation proposal. The meeting ended with a unanimous resolution rejecting the central plan and supporting a freeze on the Lok Sabha strength at 543 seats. The resolution was passed with all 15 MPs present voting in favor, underscoring a united stance from the state's parliamentary representatives. The move signals a strong opposition to the Centre's attempt to redraw constituency boundaries, which the Tamil Nadu leadership argues could dilute regional representation and alter electoral dynamics.
