Mysuru: AICC Spokesperson and senior Supreme Court Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the Central Government’s move on delimitation of Lok Sabha Constituencies poses a threat to the federal structure of our country.
Addressing a press meet at Congress Bhavan near the city Railway Station here yesterday, Singhvi, who is also a Rajya Sabha Congress MP alleged that the Centre was only telling half truth on the delimitation exercise. Alleging that the Centre has not called a meeting of Opposition parties to discuss delimitation, he expressed apprehension about PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s claims that the number of seats in Southern States would not be lessened post delimitation. Noting that the Centre has not said anything about the possible increase in the number of seats in Northern States, he stressed on the need for the Centre to take all the Opposition parties into confidence before going ahead with the delimitation exercise.
