NEW DELHI: Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday criticised the BJP-led central government over the delimitation exercise scheduled for 2026, saying the BJP is doing this to settle scores with the people of Southern states because they never allowed the BJP to grow.

Telangana CM on Wednesday met with a DMK delegation led by MP Kanimozhi which has invited him to the CM's meeting called by MK Stalin on March 22.

Speaking to media, CM Reddy said, "Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin sent a delegation to me, inviting me to join the meeting concerning the delimitation. The central government led by BJP-NDA is conspiring against the Southern states. This is not a delimitation but a 'limitation' for Southern states. We won't accept this at any cost. BJP is doing all this to settle scores with the people of Southern states because the people out there never allowed the BJP to grow. BJP is doing vendetta politics."
