My understanding is proportional representation would continue to be maintained based on the numbers freezed in 1971. There would be zero change in current proportional representation. Southern states like Tamil Nadu would not be penalised for successfully controlling population during last 5 decades. I think Southern states need to ensure this is exactly reflected in constitutional amendment. The draft amendment needs to be sent by centre to states for their vetting. All needs to be on same page. And no tricks should be played in amendments.

Wow. Big 4 are doing all the work in the central govt. The result is for all to see.

According to media reports, a new constitutional amendment act proposing population based seat adjustment and seat delimitation has been introduced. If 2011 census figures are used as baseline, this is what final seat tally may look like. 1/2

Is he really that hate filled that he loses rationality? Is he unable to see that so many political parties oppose the underhand delimitation exercise being attempted but no one else has issued threats to the Centre? Is he unable to see that the phrase "DMK of the fifties and sixties" implies a return to their separatist ideology? Does he also think people are fools not to see that they issued similar strong statements before the SIR and then did not even make a whimper once it was implemented? Does he thinks people are idiots not to see the cozy relationship his party leadership enjoys with the BJP High Command? Does he think people are so dumb that they will not see this as yet another pre electoral stunt? The way to oppose delimitation is first through aligning with other affected States to build a consensus against it then attempt to push that through Parliament, then fighting it through the Courts and finally through a peaceful people's movement. Not by issuing threats to the Indian Union.
