Trend analysis:
5 south states(1971 census)-130/543
With 50% increase(71 census)-195/543~DEMANDED
south states(2026 census) *est-146/815~PROPOSED
Over 50 yrs- seats gained are 16/272 ~5% of 50% seats increase
Seats lost with 2026 census - 49 seat
Seats lost in south=gain by north
Why Modi govt is not giving women’s reservations on 543 seats? Because it will upset their male leaders.
Look at this data:
Reservation on 543 — Women - 181, Men - 362
Reservation on 850 — Women - 283, Men - 567
This is men’s reservation not women.

The answer can be found in Europe, where the principle of degressive proportionality is applied to the composition of the European Parliament — since they have the same problem of small and big states coexisting in one Union.
India also needs a compromise between strict democratic representation (one person, one vote) and the necessity of ensuring smaller political entities have a meaningful voice. It essentially means that while larger populations get more seats, the ratio of citizens to representatives increases as the population grows.
In the European Parliament, the allocation must follow these constraints:
*Minimum Threshold: No member state can have fewer than 6 seats.
*Maximum Ceiling: No member state can have more than 96 seats.
*Inverse Ratio: The "efficiency" of a vote must decrease as population increases. For example, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Malta might represent roughly 80,000 citizens, while an MEP from Germany represents roughly 850,000 citizens.
The goal is to prevent the "Big Four" (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) from holding a permanent absolute majority that could override the collective interests of the smaller nations, thereby maintaining the federalist spirit of the Union.
Applying this to India is what we need to debate, not women’s representation which no one objects to. We need to address the North-South divide that has arisen over delimitation. A strict population-based reallocation (proportional representation) would drastically increase seats for northern Hindi-belt states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, while states that successfully implemented population control (like Kerala and Tamil Nadu) would see their relative political influence diminish.
If India were to adopt a degressive model, the Parliament could be structured to balance population with federal equity. Similar to the EU, a "floor" could be set for smaller states (e.g., Goa, Sikkim, or the Northeast) to ensure they aren't reduced to insignificance. Instead of a fixed ratio of, say, 2 million citizens per MP, the ratio could scale. A state with 200 million people might have 2.5 million citizens per MP, while a state with 30 million might have 1 million per MP. This is to ensure no state feels disenfranchised. As @revanth_anumula suggests, another factor could be a state’s contribution to national GDP. It would be dangerous for our federalism if smaller states felt their prosperity & human development were being punished with relative disenfranchisement.
One could argue that the Rajya Sabha already exists for federal representation. However, degressive proportionality in the Lok Sabha would provide a "weighted" democratic mandate that acknowledges population without penalizing states for their developmental successes.
Finding a mathematical formula that satisfies both the high-growth and low-growth states, and both the large and small states, would require a level of bipartisan and interstate cooperation that it is in the interests of the central government to promote. I urge PM @narendramodi to initiate extensive consultations, with all parties and with all states, before rushing into a hasty delimitation process that leaves the core underlying issues unaddressed.
The southern states which contribute more to the GDP and have controlled their population will be punished and the northern states which didn’t control population and are on the lowest rank in all human and social index will be benefited.

As a South Indian, my view on delimitation
South India has been doing the hard things right for decades, controlled population, investing in education, building strong economies, and contributing a disproportionate share to the country’s taxes and growth.
And now, with delimitation, it feels like that is being penalised, not rewarded ❌
States like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh focused on sustainable growth and governance, while population-heavy states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar now stand to gain more political power purely due to numbers.
Southern states contribute a disproportionately high share to India’s GDP and tax pool:
- Tamil Nadu → manufacturing powerhouse
- Karnataka → tech & startup capital
- Telangana → pharma & IT growth
- Andhra Pradesh → infrastructure & exports
This creates a troubling signal:
Do the right things → lose influence
Ignore them → gain representation
It’s not just about seats in Parliament, it’s about losing a voice in shaping the country’s future, despite contributing significantly to it.
As a South Indian, this doesn’t feel like fair representation. It feels like the rules are changing in a way that undermines progress and shifts power away from those who earned it.
What’s this Delimitation bill proposed to be implemented with increase in Parliamentary seats to 850 based on 2011 Census and how the powers will change between South & North?.
Check this State-wise analysis of current seats & proposed based on 2011 census:
South States currently have 24% representation. It will get reduced to 20% (166 seats - increase of just 36 seats in 850).
Five Northern States have 37% representation now. It will get increased to 43% (367 seats - increase of 167 seats compared to 200 now)
Population controls effectively followed by Southern States will lose out their power in parliament effectively with this delimitation if implemented.
Not Fair to Southern States if 2011 census is the basis for seats allocated in 850.
All political parties of Tamil Nadu must resist and seek proportional seats of 203 (24% of 850) in the proposed increase in number of representatives in the ensuing debate on the bill, to be presented in Parliament ✍️

#WhodunnitAP? 😳
In 2014, C-DAC was requested to be setup in #Vizag to help ecosystem of IT by the then Chief Minister @ncbn.
Now, even as #Visakhapatnam being branded as IT Hub of AP, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing goes to Vijayawada.
Whodunnit? 😡
An MLA overrides CM's decision? Or it's got CM's approval? People need to know
I am once again reupping my article from 2022. The article clearly discusses Sivaramakrishnan committee’s recommendations on Andhra Capital. See what it says about region between Vijayawada & Guntur .

Visakhapatnam Naval Dockyard & Hindustan Shipyard are underrated as they are not listed companies like others, although they manufacture most naval ships and carry out significant R&D.
North Bimaru states getting metros dhanadhan.. meanwhile South Bimaru Andhra after 12 years of formations is trying gazette notifications for capital instead of investing in Vizag metro.
🤡🤡🤡
TDP & BJP Andhra -- Bimaru Ultra Pro Max..
AP state is in pathetic situation, no 5lac IT/GCC jobs creation in VIZAG IT hub, no vizag metro rail, no infra boost.people will move to Hyd/Blr/Chen for survival. Hats off to visionary leaders @ncbn@naralokesh@PawanKalyan yourvision toawards AP/VIZAG growth
అమరావతి ని అభివృద్ది చెయ్యాలి కాని వైజాగ్ ని అభివృద్ది చేయాల్సిన పని లేదు.. ఆల్రెడీ అయ్యింది... లక్షలు కోట్లు అప్పులు లేకుండా కేవలం ప్రభుత్వ భవనాలకి ఒక 10 వేల కోట్లు పెడితే చాలు... మనకి తెలియకుండానే తక్కువ టైమ్ లో ప్రపంచ స్థాయికి ఎదుగుతుంది
ఈ తేడా తెలుసుకుంటేన�� ఆంధ్ర అభివృద్ధి అవుద్ది. ఊరికే పెట్టుబడి పెట్టే దాని కంటే సంపదనిచ్చే దానికీ తేడా తెలియని దరిద్రంలో ఉన్నాం.

Guntur Depot got 22 Cr worth of contract.
And Vizag got only 3 Cr. Is it injustice for north Andhra people. Look at Vizag bus Stop . Ummu vastaru chustey. Public toilets kuda levu kada ra @apsrtc
As per recent politics in AP, Vizag will remain as secondary grade Tier -2 forever. I am optimistic that fate of Vizag will change atleast in future but one region ppl succeeded in their politics. I wish them all the best.
Mark my words these clowns will take away all infra projects like Vizag metro away to their region and claim capital so has to be prioritised.
Now Vizag people can go eat more muri mixture at Beach 🤡
