Chennai (State Correspondent): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday slammed central government over the implementation of delimitation exercise in India. It is expected in 2026 redrawing of parliamentary constituencies based on population.
MK Stalin said, “Delimitation isn’t just about Tamil Nadu—it affects all of South India. A democratic process should not penalise states that have successfully managed population growth, led in development, and made significant contributions to national progress. We need a fair, transparent, and equitable approach that upholds true federalism.”

He was speaking to mediapersons after chairing a Cabinet meeting at the Secretariat in Chenna. He called it ‘extremely dangerous.’
Stalin argued that Southern states like Tamil Nadu have done a great job in controlling population growth. But if that is the reason why our strength in Parliament will decrease; if it can suppress our voice, how can it be justified?
He requested to follow a fair and transparent process that preserves federalist principles.
Stalin also called all registered political parties in Tamil Nadu to discuss this very important issue that will affect the future of Tamil Nadu.
“To protect the future of our motherland, Tamil Nadu, let us unite as one, transcending party differences! Let us overcome the surrounding danger with our unity!,” he added.
