Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s Explosive Charge Against BJP On The Delimitation Issue

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy accused the BJP of taking revenge on the South through its proposed delimitation exercise and urged the Centre to hold an all-party meeting on the issue. Speaking at the India Today Conclave 2025, Reddy said through delimitation, which will adjust parliamentary constituencies based on population, the BJP wanted to reduce the representation of the South in Parliament. “The BJP has no representation in the South. Thus, it is taking revenge through a weapon called delimitation. The BJP wants to finish the South through this exercise that will benefit only northern states,” the Congress leader said. Echoing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Reddy said the delimitation exercise should be based on the 1971 Census. “Family planning implementation was the Centre's plan. What they said, we implemented. Let the Centre freeze delimitation for the next 30 years and see the growth in population of the Southern states,” the Chief Minister quipped.
