Prominent parliamentarians Kalanidhi Veeraswamy (DMK), Sasmit Patra (BJD), and P.P. Chaudhary (BJP) talked about the implications of delimitation on the North-South balance in India's Parliament.
The non-BJP leaders were wary of representation concerns and asserted the necessity for equitable governance.
Kalanidhi Veeraswamy, describing Tamil Nadu's demographic evolution, said that the state's fertility rate has declined from over 3 to 1.7 due to the increase in literacy rates. "This trend is common among southern states. In contrast, states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh maintain higher fertility rates, around 2.7."
He emphasized that the postponement of delimitation since the Emergency era has led to imbalances in representation, underscoring the need for a census to inform the delimitation process.
