BJP leader N Ramchander Rao said that the Congress and other Non-BJP governements in the South are trying to mislead the people on the issue.
"The non-BJP governments, especially from South India, are trying to mislead the people with regards to delimitation and the language policy. The BJP government in the centre made it very clear that the language policy would respect all the regional languages and that there would be no thrust of any language on any state. Despite this, non-BJP-ruled states are trying to create confusion among people... The delimitation would not reduce any seats of any state. In yesterday's cabinet meeting, the Telangana government again tried to mislead the people of the state." he said.
The issue of delimitation was first raised by Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin who claimed that the state would lose representation in the Lok Sabha if population based delimitation was carried out. (ANI)
