Delimitation, women’s reservation Bills were clubbed together to create confusion, says N. Ram

The Hindu Group's N. Ram criticized the BJP-led Union government for combining delimitation and women’s reservation in a bill, claiming it was intended to confuse opposition parties. He argued that the two issues had no correlation and were used as a cover for the BJP's political maneuvering. Ram praised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for understanding the government's intentions and highlighting the bill's flaws. DMK MP A. Raja emphasized that delimitation was a statutory provision requiring debate in Parliament before any Constitutional Amendment could be introduced. He also cited Dr. Ambedkar's warnings about potential imbalances between Hindi-speaking and non-Hindi-speaking regions, suggesting the bill could exacerbate existing tensions.
