The delimitation battle is deepening divisions within the INDIA bloc, with the DMK signalling it could support the proposed Bill if its conditions are met, while Congress warns against any compromise on Tamil Nadu’s interests. CM Vijay has called an all-party meeting of Tamil Nadu MPs to build a united front, but the DMK has linked its participation to a separate all-party meeting on the Mekedatu issue and says it must examine the Bill before taking a stand. Is the DMK showing political pragmatism or compromising Tamil Nadu’s interests? Can Tamil Nadu maintain a united front in its negotiations with the Centre?
