The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological fount, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Saturday accused non-National Democratic Alliance (NDA) parties of using the delimitation exercise as a "diversionary tactic" to mislead the public.
The reactions came hours after leaders of 11 non-National Democratic Alliance (NDA) parties met in Chennai over the delimitation exercise and passed a resolution, calling for extending the freeze on change in parliamentary constituencies for another 25 years, not penalising states which enacted effective population control and consulting all stakeholders over the emotive issue.
Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, who heads the Joint Action Committee on delimitation, launched an attack on the BJP at the meeting, saying: "The BJP has always been a party that deprives states and state rights. They want to implement their ulterior motives in the delimitation plan," he said.

US: The superpower in debt
The US, under Donald Trump, has seen a lot of firsts. Most of them are seen by a large number of Americans and the outside world as negatives. However, there is one important metric, where Trump 2.0 has only continued with the existing trend. It is this bipartisan consensus which could well be the most defining driver of US's global dominance or lack thereof going forward. The US today, continues to be a superpower, but a superpower which is increasingly under debt. If forecasts by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) - it is a federal agency tasked with fiscal policy watch - are to be believed, US indebtedness is well on track to reach levels which are unprecedented in its history. This single dynamic will test the US much more than anything else in the new few decades. Here are four charts which explain the argument in detail.
