Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu defended the proposed delimitation exercise, asserting that it is "inevitable" and will not cause injustice to any state.
Naidu hit out at the Congress and DMK for opposing the delimitation-linked proposal, saying Rahul Gandhi and MK Stalin's claims of defeating the Delimitation Bill were baseless.
Naidu emphasized his decades-long political experience, stating that the proposed model ensures fairness across states and a 50% increase in seats with 33% reservation for women.
He argued that fears of southern states losing representation were misplaced, citing historical trends and population variations that have always influenced seat distribution.
Naidu praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for promoting reforms and fostering competitive federalism, and expressed confidence in AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami, calling him a "focused and capable leader."
