Delimitation: Stalin favours legal fight as well, Pinarayi likens exercise to sword of Damocles

Chennai, 22/3: Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK backed first Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting over Lok Sabha delimitation saw a political consensus emerge to bat for ‘fair delimitation,’ to not lose representation and to fight against having population as the yardstick to determine the number of seats.

At the meeting held here on Saturday, TN Chief Minister M K Stalin made it clear the fight is likely to be taken forward through the legal route also. In the meeting, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the delimitation of LS seats was hanging like the “sword of Damocles,” and alleged the BJP government was going ahead on the issue without any consultation.
