High-ranking government sources have claimed that the South Indian states will profit rather than suffer from the introduction of women's reservation. They argue that the fears of South Indian states, which have well managed their populations, about possible losses in comparison to North Indian states as a result of delimitation are completely baseless.
A clause requiring a 50% increase in the total number of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies is included in the Constitutional Amendment Bills pertaining to women's reservation that were distributed to Members of Parliament today.
The states of southern India are fiercely opposed to this action. The most outspoken critic has been MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.Although he is a strong supporter of women's reservations, he claims that the way the Central government is tying this initiative to delimitation is a political plot intended to reduce the representation of south Indian states while giving advantages to their northern counterparts.
Additionally, he has warned of the potential for a widespread protest movement.
Revanth Reddy, the chief minister of Telangana, has also condemned the action as unfair.
High-ranking government officials stated today that the south Indian states will actually gain from the delimitation process based on the 2011 census data.

They claimed that this is because the population increase in south Indian states has not kept up with the proportionate growth seen in north Indian states when compared to the baseline of the 1971 census. However, the proposed measures guarantee a 50% rise in the number of Lok Sabha seats allotted to these states in spite of this demographic reality. This suggests that these nations will benefit proportionately since they will have more parliamentary representation even though their populations are lower.
Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, also downplayed the concerns expressed by the southern states. According to him, some people are trying to spread the myth that the effective family planning programs of the southern Indian states would have negative effects.

Rijiju claims that despite their smaller populations, the southern Indian states are actually lucky to have a proportionately larger number of seats. Rijiju added that the delimitation procedure would be carried out in a way that guarantees justice and equity for every state.
The number of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies will be increased by 50% in order to implement women's reservation, according to government sources.
This computation suggests that the Lok Sabha might have a maximum of 850 seats. This clause allots a maximum of 815 seats to the states and 35 to the Union Territories.
