The biggest narrative being created is that these three bills, the Constitution Amendment Bill, the two laws on delimitation, and the changes to constituency election laws, will harm the power of the #South.
Karnataka has 28 seats, which is 5.15% of the 543 seats in the House. After the passage of the bill, the number of MPs from Karnataka will increase from 28 to 42, and its share in the Lok Sabha will rise to 5.44%. Karnataka will not suffer any loss at all.
Andhra Pradesh has 25 seats, which is 4.60%. After the passage of the bill, the number of MPs will increase from 25 to 38, making it 4.65%.
Telangana has 17 seats, which is 3.13%. After the passage of the bill, the number of MPs will increase from 17 to 26, making it 3.18%.
Tamil Nadu has 49 seats, which is 7.18%. After the passage of the bill, the number of MPs will increase to 59, and its share in the new House of 816 will be 7.23%. Tamil Nadu will also suffer no loss.
Kerala has 20 seats, which is 3.68%. After the passage of the bill, the number of MPs will increase to 30, and their share in the new House will be 3.67%.
If we consider the entire narrative about the South, currently, 129 MPs from these states sit in the House out of 543 seats, which is approximately 23.76%. In the new House, 195 MPs will represent these states, and their share will be 23.97%.

Facts over misinformation.
*Hon'ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah* clarified in Parliament that there will be no injustice to southern states in delimitation. Their share will rise from 23.76% (129/543) to 23.90% (195/816), a proportionate increase, with the same pattern holding for each state.

What happens if delimitation is delayed or not undertaken?
If nothing is done, Articles 81, 82 and 330A will automatically trigger after the next Census, leading to the redistribution of the existing 543 seats purely based on population.
Take Kerala, from 20 seats today, it could drop to 14 if seats are redistributed based on projected 2027 population.
The Modi Government’s proposal ensures the opposite, protecting existing representation while increasing seats.
This is a clear case of gain, not loss.
Watch my comments in the Lok Sabha today.
If delimitation is done on on the basis of Population growth.
