परिसीमन: क्या दो धड़ों में बंट गया तमिलनाडु? CM विजय की बैठक का DMK-AIADMK ने किया बायकॉट

According to a report by Prabhat Khabar, the political landscape in Tamil Nadu has shown signs of significant division regarding the central government's proposed delimitation exercise. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay had convened a meeting of state lawmakers to discuss the implications of the proposal, but the session faced a major setback as representatives from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) chose to abstain.

Reports indicate that a total of 37 lawmakers from the two major opposition parties stayed away from the meeting. Both the DMK and AIADMK have publicly criticized the initiative, characterizing the Chief Minister's call for a meeting as a performative exercise rather than a substantive policy discussion. The boycott highlights the ongoing tension between the state government and the opposition regarding how the delimitation process might affect Tamil Nadu's political representation.

The delimitation of constituencies is a contentious issue in several Indian states, with concerns often raised about the potential for southern states to lose relative political influence due to demographic shifts. The refusal of the DMK and AIADMK to participate suggests a deepening impasse in the state assembly, as political parties prepare for further debates on the central government's legislative agenda. There has been no immediate response from the Chief Minister's office regarding the impact of the boycott on the proposed discussions.
