@naralokesh ji has raised an important and timely concern on delimitation. Southern states should not be disadvantaged for successfully controlling population growth. The debate must focus on ensuring fair representation for every region of India.
Dear Sir,
Under Article 81 of the Constitution of India, the allocation of seats in the House of the People has remained frozen based on the 1971 Census. This constitutional freeze is set to end after the first Census conducted post-2026.
Once the freeze is lifted, reapportionment becomes inevitable. Every South Indian state - without exception - stands to lose relative representation compared to the northern states. That is precisely the concern we have consistently raised, and the very imbalance the NDA sought to address through the Delimitation Bill and a proportionate increase in parliamentary seats for all states.
Surely, a distinguished legal mind such as yours is fully aware of this constitutional position. Which raises an important question: why did the Congress party oppose the Delimitation Bill in Parliament? Was it political posturing at the cost of South India’s long-term interests?
The Congress party must answer the simple questions: under Article 81, as it currently stands, what happens after the 2026 Census? Does the South not lose relative representation vis-à-vis the North? If that is indeed the case, why oppose a constitutional mechanism intended to prevent precisely that outcome?
Over the last 15 years , women’s rights and empowerment have grown significantly. One major reason is the rising political importance of women voters. The judiciary has often stepped forward to support this progress.

A bold and patriotic move by the Central Government. Section 3(4), which provides for delimitation in areas of Jammu & Kashmir currently under Pakistan’s occupation, reaffirms India’s firm belief that these regions are an integral part of our nation.

By entrusting this responsibility to the Election Commission, the Government highlights its commitment to democratic representation and expresses confidence that these areas will one day be fully represented within India’s constitutional framework.

In a major legislative development, the Lok Sabha has passed the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026. This amends the 2014 Act and accords statutory status to Amaravati as the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh. ⚖️

President Droupadi Murmu graced an event to commemorate the five billion meals of Akshaya Patra Foundation at Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre. The President said that a safe and bright future for our children is not solely the government's responsibility, but a shared responsibility of all of us. Children are the architects of the nation's bright future. The nutritious food they receive today is an investment in our nation's human capital.
A powerful tribute to sacrifice and courage. The inauguration of the Statue of Sacrifice in Andhra Pradesh honours the spirit of those who gave everything for the aspirations and identity of the Telugu people. Shri Potti Sriramulu legacy will continue to inspire generations.
అమరజీవి పొట్టి శ్రీరాములు గారి 125వ జయంతి సందర్భంగా ఆయనకు ఘన నివాళి. తెలుగు రాష్ట్రం సాధన కోసం చేసిన ఆయన త్యాగం తరతరాలకు స్పూర్తిగా నిలుస్తుంది. ఆయనకు వినమ్ర శ్రద్ధాంజలి.
Second semi-final of the @ICC#T20WorldCup 2026 has shattered the world record for digital viewership. The match between
@BCCI and @EnglandCricket registered a peak digital concurrency of 65.2 million viewers @JioHotstar which is the highest for any live event across the world. This demonstrates the unparalleled capacity of marquee global Cricket to aggregate Indian fans as well as the prowess of my team at the ICC and our partner #JioStar in recruiting & engaging fans at scale. Proud moment for all of us as we set new global benchmarks in the world of #sport, #media and #streaming.
The perfect video to view on Holi…
Because the colours of India spring up in many different ways & surprise us.
Chillis laid out for drying create an amazingly beautiful tapestry when seen from above.
This is Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh which alone has a share of 15% in India’s chilli production.
Can, & should AP turn this seasonal crop into a tourist attraction?
It’s a winter harvest so the timing is right.
I’ve never been, but I suspect the problem is that the beauty of the patterns may not be visible at ground level.
Balloon rides?
Curate performances of local music and dance at that time & create a festival?
Other ideas?
I know many will feel that it should be left free of potentially disruptive tourists. But that overlooks the opportunity for the local farmers and communities to supplement their incomes.

Warm wishes to all my fellow Indians on the 77th Republic Day 🇮🇳
Freedom was not gifted to us, it was earned with blood, tears, and endless sacrifices.
Our Constitution gave us rights, but our duty is to protect its values.
