Is Palaniswami silent over delimitation owing to fear or ignorance, asks Chidambaram

Congress veteran and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram on Friday questioned whether AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s “silence” on the delimitation issue was from a lack of understanding or a sense of apprehension.

Speaking to journalists in Karaikudi, Mr. Chidambaram said: “The 106th Amendment Act was brought as early as September 2023 to reserve one-third (181 seats) of the existing 543 Lok Sabha constituencies for women. They (BJP) have implemented it now, after a delay of 30 months.”
