DK Shivakumar Reaffirms Opposition to Delimitation, Warns of Voice Suppression

Karnataka opposition leader DK Shivakumar has once again voiced his opposition to the proposed delimitation of parliamentary and assembly constituencies. In a statement released earlier today, he warned that the redrawing of boundaries could effectively choke the voice of South India in the national political arena. Shivakumar’s remarks come as the government pushes forward with a delimitation commission that aims to adjust constituencies based on the latest census data. The leader’s stance reflects concerns that the new boundaries may dilute the electoral influence of southern states and alter the balance of power in Parliament. While the ruling party maintains that delimitation is essential for fair representation, opposition voices like Shivakumar’s highlight the potential political ramifications for the region.
