X / Twitter Pulse
Southern Twitter is ablaze with #StopDelimitation and #SouthTax. The sentiment is defensive and angry. Northern discourse is quieter, mostly focused on democratic equality.
Why should Tamil Nadu fail for being successful? We controlled population, educated our women. Now our voice in Parliament will shrink? Unfair! #SouthMatters
1 citizen = 1 vote. A voter in UP cannot have half the value of a voter in Kerala. Democracy demands equal representation. Delimitation is overdue.
This isn't just math, it's about the federal compact. You cannot penalize the engines of growth. Freeze the seats or face a divide.
