“If delimitation is held on the current principles of one Citizen, one vote and one value, then not only the south, even north India would also lose the share of the northern states as a percentage share of the total strength of the Lok Sabha and even Rajya Sabha will go down further,” Tewari wrote on X.“For example, the number of Lok Sabha seats of both Punjab and Haryana post delimitation would be 18… as proportion to the overall strength of the Lok Sabha, both states would lose further. In any case, they are marginalised and they would become even more inconsequential,” Tewari said.Even within northern states, how the distribution of seats would play out is still an open-ended question, he noted.“The only gainers in this exercise would be Middle India that would see a substantial increase in the number of Parliament seats as they have been laggards in population control” Tewari said.
