NDTV
Fears of southern parties that South India will be penalised for early population policies by an impact on their seats, will be allayed, sources told NDTV.
The government will be considerate of the fact the southern states have successfully managed to control their population and so should not suffer during delimitation, top sources indicated today amid a bitter battle in parliament over the women's reservation bill.
Fears of southern parties that South India will be penalised for early population policies by an impact on their seats, will be allayed, sources told NDTV. The huge population in the north ensures that they will get more seats and there are concerns that the south will be under-represented.
The government understands that concern and will do the needful, sources said.
