Chennai, Jul 11 (PTI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Friday accused the opposition AIADMK of backing the Centre's proposed delimitation exercise, which, he said "punishes our progress."
On the occasion of World Population Day, he took to 'X' to give a 'reminder' to the union government that "Tamil Nadu leads in population control, empowers women with dignity, delivers healthcare and education for all, champions sustainable development."
"And yet, what do we get in return? Fewer seats. Less funding. A voice that's being pushed out of Parliament. Why? Because Tamil Nadu did the right thing. And that threatens Delhi."
"What's worse — Thiru Palaniswami (AIADMK chief) and his party are standing with Delhi, not with Tamil Nadu. They're backing unfair delimitation that punishes us for our progress," he said.
Tamil Nadu will not bow and "we rise together..." the CM added.
The ruling DMK and Stalin have been alleging that the Parliamentary delimitation exercise based on population will result in Tamil Nadu's share of Lok Sabha seats going down. The Centre has denied it.
