Tamil Nadu’s political battle over delimitation has intensified, with the TVK-led government demanding that the number of Lok Sabha seats remain frozen at the current 543.

The resolution seeks a complete freeze on delimitation and argues that representation of southern states, including Tamil Nadu, could be significantly affected if future delimitation is based on a post-1971 census. The TVK has also called for the 33% women’s reservation to be implemented within the existing parliamentary structure.

The move has brought the TVK and DMK closer on the contentious issue, despite their wider political rivalry. While the DMK has previously demanded that delimitation be deferred, the TVK is pushing for an even stronger freeze.

The resolution has also drawn opposition from the NDA and DMK ally DMDK, with questions being raised over why Tamil Nadu is debating delimitation when the proposed bill has not yet been introduced in Parliament.

Tamil Nadu Delimitation Row Intensifies | TVK Demands 543-Seat Freeze, DMK Backs Resolution

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Vijay Joseph's first attempt to bring the state's political parties together against the Centre's proposed delimitation Bill has faced a major setback, with most MPs deciding to skip the all-party meeting convened by him on Saturday.&nbsp;Of Tamil Nadu's 57 MPs, only 20 are expected to attend the meeting, while 37 have chosen to stay away. The low attendance highlights the lack of consensus among the state's political parties over the Chief Minister's initiative.&nbsp;Vijay called the meeting to discuss a common response to the proposed delimitation exercise. Southern states have raised concerns over the possible reduction in their parliamentary representation following the exercise.&nbsp;According to the attendance details, most of the MPs expected to attend the meeting belong to the Congress and its smaller allies. The list includes 12 Congress MPs, two each from the VCK, CPI and CPI(M), and one each from the MDMK and IUML.<h3>DMK, AIADMK among parties skipping meeting</h3>The boycott has been led by the ruling DMK, with all its 30 MPs staying away from the meeting. The main opposition AIADMK has also decided to skip the session, with its four MPs absent.&nbsp;The PMK, MNM and DMDK have also joined the boycott, with one MP from each party choosing not to attend.&nbsp;Explaining the DMK's decision, party MP Kanimozhi said the meeting was unnecessary and alleged that it sought to divert attention from the Cauvery issue.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/you-will-influence-our-journey-towards-a-viksit-bharat-pm-modi-addresses-students-at-iit-delhi-1786189097812">'You will influence our journey towards a Viksit Bharat': PM Modi addresses students at IIT Delhi</a>&nbsp;"The all-party MPs meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay on delimitation is unnecessary"&nbsp;Kanimozhi also said there had been no official announcement from the Union government about introducing a delimitation Bill during the current Parliament session. She pointed out that the amended draft Bill was not available and argued that there was nothing new to discuss.&nbsp;The development came after Vijay invited all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs from Tamil Nadu for a consultative meeting on the proposed Delimitation Bill 2026 and its possible impact on the state.According to an official statement, the meeting is scheduled at Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai at 3 pm on Saturday.&nbsp;The Delimitation Bill 2026 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on April 16, 2026. The Bill seeks to redraw parliamentary and assembly constituencies, increase the strength of the Lok Sabha to 850 seats and implement women's reservation.&nbsp;However, Parliament did not pass the Bill as it failed to secure the constitutionally required special two-thirds majority of members present and voting.

CM Vijay's bid to build a united Tamil Nadu front against the proposed delimitation exercise suffered a setback as 37 of the state's 57 MPs skipped his all-party meeting.

With the NDA government working aggressively behind the scenes to reach the magic figure of two-thirds majority in Lok Sabha for the Delimitation Bill, Sharad Pawar knows that his MPs are vulnerable. He has just seen Uddhav Thackeray helplessly lose his 6 MPs to Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena. Both Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar have suffered coups that split their parties vertically.

As the Monsoon Session of the Parliament began, the focus has shifted to the Delimitation Bill that did not pass in the previous parliament session as it failed to get the two-thirds majority.

Delimitation Bill explained: Why is it triggering a North-South political battle in India?

Ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla approved the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. The move raises the Shinde faction's strength in the Lok Sabha to 13 MPs, making it the largest NDA ally from Maharashtra and dealing a major setback to Uddhav Thackeray. The development comes amid the all-party meeting and speculation over key constitutional bills in the upcoming session.

The monsoon session of the parliament is scheduled to take place on July 20, 2026 and is expected to go till August 13, 2026. The session is likely to have 19 sittings, and the Union Government is likely to table the controversial delimitation bill once again. The bill had previously failed to clear a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha, and this term, the sessions are expected to be highly contentious, as the BJP-led ruling coalition, the National Democratic Alliance, had forced several aggressive structural rearrangements in the opposition camps in the hopes of securing the two-thirds majority required for constitutional amendment.&nbsp;<h2>Political realignments and defections</h2>There had been an increase in the seat tally of the NDA both in the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. It is close to securing a two-thirds majority. In the Rajya Sabha, the 7-MP merger of the &nbsp;AAP and NDA swept 19 out of 26 seats in the recent Rajya Sabha polls. It now has 150 seats. The BJP-led NDA is now poised to win these three vacant seats left by TMC MPs Sushmita Dev, Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, and Prakash Chik Baraik in the upcoming bypolls. The two-thirds majority mark is 163. In Lok Sabha, &nbsp;20 out of the 28 total TMC MPs broke away from party chief Mamata Banerjee to align with the NDA. Six out of the nine total Shiv Sena (UBT) Lok Sabha MPs defected to join the rival ruling Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. The ruling BJP-led NDA is boosting the total to 318 sitting MPs and is still short of 363 seats. &nbsp;Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is yet to announce a final decision regarding the seating arrangements and official group recognition of 20 rebel TMC MPs and 6 Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs who recently defected.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/unesco-pakistan-taxila-reconstruction-world-heritage-warning-1783095411314">Pakistan's Taxila reconstruction: What are the UN Rules for reconstruction</a><h2>What are in fray for the monsoon session?</h2>In the monsoon session, the government is highly likely to table the Women's Reservation Act Amendments and reintroduce the 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill. It will plan to increase the strength of the Lok Sabha to 850 seats to "operationalise" 33 per cent women's reservation quota. There is also a discussion of introducing the PM-CMs Jail Bill, which will push the 130th Amendment to the Constitution, which mandates that a Union or State Minister, including the PM or Chief Ministers, automatically ceases to hold office if they remain in custody for 31 days.
