DMK Accuses Tamil Nadu CM of Staging Delimitation Drama

Speaking at the party’s Chennai headquarters, Bharathi argued that the government is reacting to legislation that has not yet been introduced in Parliament. He likened the premature meeting to naming an unborn child, insisting that the DMK will only formulate its formal strategy once the bill’s specific provisions are laid out. The party maintains that any future delimitation exercise must not disadvantage Tamil Nadu or other southern states.

Bharathi pivoted the critique toward the state's immediate water crisis, emphasizing that the Mekedatu Dam project poses a more urgent threat to citizens. While the government claims the upcoming meeting addresses critical parliamentary concerns, the DMK leadership maintains that the administration is avoiding substantive action on water security. The row highlights a deepening rift between the ruling TVK and the opposition over the state's legislative priorities.
