IndiaTimes Sunday, 27 April 2025 ()
Karnataka minister TB Thimmapur's remark, dismissing religious motives in the Pahalgam terror attack, ignited a political firestorm. His statement, contradicting victims' accounts, was seen as an attempt to downplay intelligence failures. The BJP strongly condemned the Congress, accusing them of shielding Pakistan and insulting the victims, while Chief Minister Siddaramaiah clarified his stance on avoiding immediate war with Pakistan.

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power? [Video]

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power?

The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states. The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence. Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth. #Delimitation #SouthIndiaDelimitation #DelimitationDebate #NorthVsSouth #Delimitation2026 #DelimitationCommission #WhatIsDelimitation #DelimitationAct #LokSabhaDelimitation #DelimitationIndia #PoliticalRepresentation #SouthVsCentre #PopulationBasedSeats #IndianPolitics #FederalismDebate Also Read DMK Urges Centre To Use 1997 Population Data For Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-urges-centre-to-use-1997-population-data-for-delimitation-4100993.html?ref=DMDesc Delimitation Rewards Population Growth, Punishes Control: DMK MP :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/delimitation-rewards-population-growth-punishes-control-dmk-mp-in-rajya-sabha-4098941.html?ref=DMDesc DMK Members Walk Out Of Lok Sabha Over Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-members-walk-out-of-lok-sabha-over-delimitation-4097967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
