Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy expressed concerns that the central government's policies could deepen the divide between northern and southern states. He criticized the linking of the Women's Reservation Bill with delimitation, arguing that such a move could unfairly benefit northern states while penalizing southern ones that have managed population growth effectively. Reddy emphasized that southern states contribute significantly to India's economy and should not be disadvantaged in parliamentary representation. In response, the Telangana unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused Reddy of prioritizing party loyalty over national interest and suggested that the Congress party should support reforms promoting inclusivity, particularly for women. The BJP dismissed Reddy's arguments as misleading and emphasized the need for population-based representation as a constitutional principle. The party called for a focus on strengthening democratic institutions rather than politicizing critical national issues.
