Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, participating in the Joint Action Council meeting convened by his Tamil Nadu counterpart MK Stalin on Saturday, March 23, said various reports indicate that the BJP-led Union Government is going ahead with the delimitation process without any consultation, and contended that this sudden move is not driven by any constitutional
principle or any democratic imperative, but by “narrow political interests”.
“The proposed delimitation of Lok Sabha constituencies is hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles,” said Vijayan at the meeting attended by three chief ministers, one deputy chief minister, and numerous frontline leaders from various parties.
