The political battle over the Delimitation Bill intensified as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged all Tamil political parties to unite against the proposal, alleging it would weaken Tamil Nadu’s political representation. Calling supporters of the Bill “21st-century Ettappans,” Rahul appealed for a united front in Parliament, while the DMK reiterated it would oppose any delimitation exercise that reduces the state’s Lok Sabha seats without constitutional safeguards. The remarks have added fresh momentum to the growing political confrontation over the proposed legislation.
