Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday, February 14, 2024, moved two resolutions in the State Legislative Assembly against the Union government’s ‘One nation, One Election’ policy and its proposed delimitation process after 2026.
The resolution against the proposed delimitation process by Union Government read: “This august House urged the Union Government that the delimitation process to be carried out after 2026 on the basis of the census should not be carried out. Due to unavoidable reasons, if the number of seats on the basis of population were to increase, it shall be maintained at the present ratio of the constituencies between the States in the State Assemblies and both Houses of Parliament fixed based on the population of 1971.”
Furthermore, the resolution said that States like Tamil Nadu should not be penalised for implementing various socio-economic development programmes and welfare schemes for the benefit of people over the past 50 years.
