South's LS seats, political weight to rise: Govt

Shah also clarified that reservation for Muslim women based on religion is unconstitutional. Bills related to women's reservation and delimitation were introduced.
No reduction in southern seats: Amit Shah
New Delhi, Apr 16:Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday sought to allay concerns over the proposed delimitation exercise, asserting that the number of parliamentary seats in southern states will not be reduced even as the Centre moves to significantly expand the Lok Sabha. Addressing concerns surrounding the ongoing delimitation process, Shah said the exercise would be carried out strictly in accordance with existing legal provisions. The Delimitation Commission law is strictly in accordance with the existing (old) law. There is no change. It will not impact the ongoing elections, he said. Shah said that the proposed expansion of the Lok Sabha from the current 543 seats to 816 represents a nearly 50 percent increase, aimed at better representation of the population without disadvantaging any region. The number of seats in the southern states will not be reduced, Shah said, amid apprehensions from several states over a possible shift in political balance. He said that a completely false narrative was being spread that the representation of southern states would go down in the Lok Sabha after its strength is increased to 816 seats following the implementation of women's reservation and delimitation of constituencies. Intervening in the debate in Lok Sabha on the three bills introduced for amendment of the women's quota law and to set up a delimitation commission, Shah said the fact is that the number of seats will go up and power will grow. He said the number of Lok Sabha seats in the five southern states will go up from the present 129 to 195 seats while the percentage of power will increase from 23.76 per cent to 23.87 or almost 24 percent. Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka will increase to 42 from the present 28; in Andhra Pradesh, the number of Lok Sabha sets will increase to 38 from 25; in Telangana, it will be 26 from present 17; in Tamil Nadu, the number of Lok Sabha seats will go up to 59 from the present 39; and in Kerala, it will be 30 seats from the present 20, he said. Shah strongly rejected the opposition suggestion that the government will indulge in some kind of mischief during the delimitation exercise, saying the NDA government has not made any changes in the existing law. The delimitation bill is exactly like the previous law brought by your government. There is no change, not even a comma or a full stop, he said. Explaining how the total number of seats in the new Lok Sabha is fixed at 816, the Home Minister said it is exactly 50 percent more than the current total seats. On the issue of caste enumeration, the Home Minister said that the government had already taken a decision to conduct a caste census as part of the ongoing population census exercise. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Cabinet has decided to conduct a caste census. The ongoing census is being conducted on the basis of caste enumeration. There is no need to spread confusion, he said. Shah said on that Muslims will not be given reservation on the basis of religion as such a quota would be unconstitutional. The question of providing reservation to Muslim women on the basis of religion does not even arise. Our Constitution does not allow at all to give reservation on the basis of religion. I want to make it clear our government's resolve that Muslims will not be given reservation on the basis of religion. Such reservation is unconstitutional, he said after the Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and Dharmendra Yadav spoke in favour of giving a quota to Muslims. The Home Minister said the Samajwadi Party members were saying that they would place the demand for a caste census but he would like to inform them that the government had already taken a decision to carry out the caste census and it would be carried out along with the population enumeration. Right now, the counting of households is underway and the households do not have any caste. If the Samajwadi Party had its way, they would determine the caste of households as well, he said. Shah also said if the Samajwadi Party gives all its tickets to Muslim women, where do we have any objection, we have no objections at all. He said that during the population enumeration, the census authorities would keep a provision for caste enumeration, which I personally want too. I want to make it clear that this census will be conducted along with caste enumeration, the Home Minister said. Shahs remarks come at a time when the Centres proposed delimitation plan and census-related announcements have triggered widespread political debate, particularly over representation, federal balance, and data transparency. The government has maintained that both exercises are aimed at strengthening democratic representation and ensuring equitable policy planning based on updated demographic data. (With PTI inputs)

Govt, Opposition set for delimitation duel in Parliament
New Delhi, Apr 15:The government and the Opposition are set to cross swords in the Lok Sabha on Thursday as a three-day special sitting of Parliament begins with a debate on a key Constitution amendment bill that has provisions for the women's quota law implementation and the contentious delimitation exercise. While the government is set to push The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026 as a big-ticket reform, the Opposition has decided to oppose the bill due to its provisions on delimitation. Both sides are rallying support at Centre as well as in states amid concerns in the southern part of the country that a delimitation exercise under the provisions of the bill would reduce their political standing because of a better performance on population control. On the eve of the special three-day sitting of Parliament, top Opposition leaders met here at the residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss and evolve a joint strategy on the bills brought for the implementation of the womens quota law and delimitation. Besides Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, the other leaders at the meeting included DMK's T R Baalu, the RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, Trinamool Congress's Sagarika Ghosh, Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Sanjay Raut and Arvind Sawant, and the NCP-SCP's Supriya Sule, with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav joining virtually. CPI leader Annie Raja, the CPI-M's Nilotpal Basu, AAP leader Sanjay Singh, Independent MP Kapil Sibal, the IUML's E T Mohammed Bashir and the RSP's N K Premachandran also attended the meeting, other than Congress general secretaries K C Venugopal and Jairam Ramesh. Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Kharge said the Opposition parties decided to unitedly vote against the delimitation provisions in the Constitution amendment bill in Parliament, asserting that they were not against women's reservation but opposed to the politically motivated manner in which the bill was being brought. All Opposition parties want that one-third reservation be given to women, and it be implemented based on the current Lok Sabha strength of 543 for the next general election in 2029, Ramesh told reporters after the meeting. In a post on X, Gandhi alleged that the government's proposed amendments to the Constitution constitute an attempted power grab through the use of delimitation and gerrymandering. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha emphasised that his party would not permit southern, northeastern, northwestern, and smaller states to be treated unfairly. The government plans to bring a Constitution amendment bill, a bill on delimitation law and an enabling bill for Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry -- three Union territories with a legislature -- on Thursday in the Lok Sabha to fast-track implementation of the women's reservation Act of 2023. Lok Sabha seats will be increased to a maximum of 850 from the current 543 to operationalise the women's reservation law before the 2029 parliamentary polls following a delimitation exercise to be carried out on the basis of the last published census. According to the draft Constitution amendment bill, which will be introduced and is expected to be passed in the upcoming special sitting of Parliament, seats would also be increased in state and Union territory assemblies to accommodate 33 per cent reservation for women. Amending the Constitution requires a special majority in both Houses of Parliament: a majority of the total membership (more than 50 per cent) and a two-thirds majority of members present and voting. So if all 540 members, that are there in the House currently, are present and voting, the two-thirds majority mark would be 360. The total strength of the NDA in the Lok Sabha stands at 292, while the major Opposition parties have 233 MPs. There is discomfort and growing opposition among southern states over apprehensions that a delimitation would reduce their political weight vis-a-vis their northern counterparts. Two prominent non-BJP chief ministers from the south -- the DMK's M K Stalin (Tamil Nadu) and the Congress's A Revanth Reddy (Telangana) -- have sharpened their attack on the Centre over the issue of delimitation, with the Tamil Nadu CM warning of a massive agitation if the state was harmed and his Telangana counterpart flagging injustice. Reddy has written an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to convene an all-party meeting to deliberate on the proposed delimitation, alleging that an increase in Lok Sabha seats based on pro rata, without considering economic contribution, would lead to a distortion in the country's federal balance. Reddy has also written to his counterparts from Andhra Pradesh (Chandrababu Naidu), Karnataka (Siddaramaiah), Kerala (Pinarayi Vijayan), Puducherry (N Rangasamy) and Tamil Nadu, calling for collective engagement among southern states to ensure that their concerns are articulated effectively at the national level. The ruling NDA has also closed ranks and rallied behind the prime minister, pitching the move for early implementation of the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' as a historic step. In a letter to the women of the country, Modi has asserted that Indian democracy will become stronger and more vibrant if elections to the Lok Sabha and the various assemblies in 2029 are held with the women's quota fully in place. Modi said that when women become active participants in policy and decision-making, the journey towards Viksit Bharat (developed India) is strengthened.

Bisleri International Supports Expansion of The Live Love Laugh Foundation’s Rural Mental Health Programme in Madhya Pradesh Launched in January 2023 in the Sausar block of Chhindwara, the programme began with outreach across 60 villages and has since expanded to cover 134 villages, reaching 1,595 beneficiaries. This year, the initiative has expanded into the Bichua block, extending its reach to 42 additional villages supporting 200 people living with mental illness (PwMI). With the support of Bisleri International, the programme will strengthen its outreach across Chhindwara district, while building systems that enable communities to sustain these efforts independently over time. Dr. Shyam Bhat, Chairperson, The Live Love Laugh Foundation and Deepika Padukone, meet beneficiaries of LLL’s Community Mental Health Program Speaking about the CSR partnership, Ms Jayanti Chauhan, Vice Chairperson, Bisleri International , said, " At Bisleri, we believe that enduring change is rooted in empowering communities with the awareness and resources to shape their own futures. Mental health, though integral to overall well-being, continues to remain under-recognised, particularly in rural India. We are proud to support The Live Love Laugh Foundation’s work in Chhindwara, and hope this initiative fosters greater understanding, accessibility, and a more compassionate ecosystem of care within the community ." Deepika Padukone, Founder of The Live Love Laugh Foundation , said, " Since its inception, The Live Love Laugh Foundation has been committed to creating awareness about the importance of mental health as well as improving accessibility and affordability of mental healthcare across the country. Our rural programme is an important part of that effort. We are pleased to have Bisleri International join us in strengthening our work in Chhindwara. Their support enables us to scale the programme and move closer to our goal of building a sustainable, community-led mental health system ." The collaboration underscores Bisleri International’s enduring commitment to initiatives that foster meaningful community participation and create lasting social impact. Across India, the company has championed a diverse range of community-led efforts that inspire responsible practices, advance sustainability, and encourage active citizen engagement- shaping a more conscious and collective future. The Live Love Laugh Foundation’s rural community mental health programme currently operates across several districts in Karnataka, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh. The programme supports Persons with Mental Illness (PwMI) and their caregivers through an integrated model that combines awareness, early identification, access to treatment, caregiver empowerment, and strong community participation. Through structured support systems, including village-level caregiver groups, block-level federations, and trained community volunteers, the programme equips communities with the knowledge and tools to sustain mental health support systems independently. Over time, this approach enables the programme to evolve into a self-sustaining model driven by community ownership. About The Live Love Laugh Foundation (LLL) Since inception in 2015, The Live Love Laugh Foundation has built pathways of care through its flagship Rural Community Mental Health Program for more than 30,000 Persons with Mental Illness (PwMI) and their caregivers, in 19 districts in eight states. LLL has also led pioneering nationwide public awareness campaigns, such as "Dobara Poocho" and "#NotAshamed". LLL recently launched a corporate mental health and well-being program that equips organizations with data-driven knowledge and a roadmap to enable mentally resilient workplaces. www.thelivelovelaughfoundation.org .
