Tamil Nadu's legislative assembly has approved a resolution to keep the number of Lok Sabha seats at 543, as proposed by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palanisamy. The decision was supported by several parties, including the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), while the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMDK) opposed the move. The BJP also voiced its disagreement with the resolution.
The resolution comes amid ongoing debates over electoral reforms and representation. The proposal aims to maintain the current number of seats, which has been a point of contention in recent political discussions. Chief Minister Palanisamy had previously introduced the resolution following the rejection of the anti-NEET bill.
The BJP has criticized the decision, aligning with other opposition parties. The move has sparked further political discourse on electoral boundaries and representation in the Lok Sabha. The resolution will now be considered by the central government for its final approval.
