Southern states would possibly lose seats in parliament: Jairam Ramesh on India turning into most populous
2 min readBy PTI
NEW DELHI: With India turning into the world’s most populous nation, the pioneering states in family planning principally inside the south would possibly end up dropping seats in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Congress chief Jairam Ramesh said on Friday.
The seat allocation to states and Union Territories is accomplished on the thought of the inhabitants.
“India overtaking China as the world’s most populous country has evoked much comment. But what hasn’t is how the pioneering states in family planning-mostly southern-will end up losing seats in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha,” Ramesh said on Twitter.
“They need assurance that this won’t happen. I’ve raised this issue many times,” the Congress chief moreover said.
India overtaking China as a result of the world’s most populous nation has evoked quite a bit comment. But what hasn’t is how the pioneering states in family planning-mostly southern-will end up dropping seats in LS & RS. They need assurance that this may not happen. I’ve raised this drawback many cases.
