- An all-party meeting chaired by Tamil Nadu CM unanimously urged the Centre to retain the existing number of Lok Sabha seats and the constitutional boundaries for the next 30 years beyond 2026.
- The resolution adopted at the meeting said Tamil Nadu’s existing 7.18% of the total seats must not be reduced under any circumstances during the delimitation exercise.
- In 2001, the 84th Constitutional Amendment had frozen the constituency boundaries till the first Census after 2026.
- If the Centre retained the present 543 Lok Sabha constituencies, Tamil Nadu’s representation will be reduced by eight seats.
- Tamil Nadu would get additional 22 constituencies if the number of constituencies were increased to 848 and delimitation was followed on per cent basis.
