There’s massive confusion on Delimitation , mostly manufactured, partly misunderstood. Let’s set the facts straight 👇 GOI has NOT said seats will be redistributed purely on population basis. The reference is 2011 Census, but that does NOT automatically mean “North gains, South loses.” The idea being discussed = increase total seats (~50%), not aggressively cut or shift existing ones. 👉 In simple terms: Expand the pie, don’t reshuffle it brutally. So why the panic? Because people are mixing 3 different things: Census data 📊 Population-based allocation ⚖️ Seat expansion ➕ These are NOT the same. Also remember,Delimitation has been frozen for decades to ensure states controlling population are not punished. Now suddenly every discussion is being spun as: “South will lose power” That’s not what has been officially stated. Reality check: ✔ No final formula notified ✔ No official redistribution model released ✔ Only broad direction discussed But social media is already running full political narratives. Bottom line: Until a clear framework is out, everything else is speculation, fear mongering, or agenda driven noise. Let policy come first. Debate later.

A roadshow after the roadshow! Making today’s Nagercoil visit even more special was a roadshow after the planned route of the original roadshow. This indicates the strong popularity in favour of the NDA.

Stop playing the victim card. A few questions: 1) Is maintaining roads the responsibility of the State Government or the Local Body (Madurai Corporation)? I'll make it easy for you, it is the Local Body (Madurai Corporation). 2) When Federalism is a core principle of our party, how can be be two-faced, like many of you "freelance journalists". Just as we condemn the Union interfering in our State Govt, State MLA's & Ministers should NOT interfere in the Local Bosy, unless in exceptional situations. So why am I asked to take responsibility for the performance, or lack thereof, of the Madurai Corporation? 3) Leaving that aside, is P. T. Rajan road - whose condition you bemoan - even in my Constituency? I'll make it easy for you - it is not. So why do you use it's condition to condemn my capabilites or performance? 4) So....you condemn my performance as an MLA or Minister, based on a road not in my Constituency, and whose maintenance is related to the Madurai Corporation, not my role at all. 5) Were you, and are you still not, following the template of wild accusations of the unwitting Candidate in my Constituency, who has no idea of the Constitutional separation of roles and responsibilities? (Those seeing this post, please check this person's timeline). 6) Do you know that steps I took as FM (6th State Finance Commission related, among others) have helped Madurai Corporation (indeed all local bodies) double Annual Revenues? Does that it make it more likely that they can improve infrastructure like roads, or not? Of course the answer is yes. Why did you not give me any credit for it? 7) Would it not be an abuse of power to direct the Madurai Corporation to prioritize a road named after my grandfather? 8) Are you in regular contact with the infamous press broker Parthiban Kumar, who is engaged in the aforementioned candidate's media management campaign? Anyway, it is not worth having any further conversation with you...let's go our separate ways...
