Today, On 25th July, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking delimitation in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, stating, “Two states cannot be equated with Jammu & Kashmir,” where delimitation was done in 2022, resulting in an increase in assembly constituencies.
The proposed delimitation post-2026 will significantly impact Lok Sabha and Assembly seat distributions, potentially altering political power among states. Concerns arise, particularly from southern states, about reduced representation despite their economic contributions. Instead of increasing the number of legislators, enhancing local governance and efficiency should be prioritized to better address citizens’ needs.
