Modi and Shah Confirm Increased Lok Sabha Seats for South India Amid Delimitation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah announced that southern states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh will gain additional seats in the upcoming delimitation. This reassurance comes amid concerns from opposition and local leaders about potential reductions in their parliamentary representation. The actual seat increase varies from 9 to 20 seats per state, with Maharashtra also gaining 24 seats, making its delegation the second largest in the Lok Sabha.
