Delimitation policy needs a relook, address Andhra concerns, says TDP

Several southern states have flagged their concerns that if 2026 delimitation was done based on population census, it would reduce the representation of southern states in Parliament.

Speaking to this newspaper, TDP MP and parliamentary party leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu said the delimitation policy should be reworked and more consultations with stakeholders should take place to address the state's concerns.

Andhra Pradesh shouldn't be penalized for successfully managing its population, he said.
