Vijay Moves Resolution Urging Centre to Keep Lok Sabha Seats Fixed at 543

Tamil Nadu politician Vijay has moved a resolution urging the central government to freeze the number of Lok Sabha seats at the current 543. The resolution aims to safeguard the parliamentary representation of southern states, which have been effective in controlling population growth. The concern is that the upcoming delimitation exercise could reduce seats for states that successfully managed population, rewarding less compliant states with greater representation. The move reflects a broader anxiety among southern states about losing political influence in Parliament due to demographic differences with northern states.
