States with successful family planning record will be ‘penalised’ in delimitation exercise: Congress
Delimitation could “penalise” the States that adhered to familiy planning goals and reduced total fertility rates, the Congress warned on Tuesday (March 11, 2025).
Amid the delimitation row spearheaded by the southern States, Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh, in a long X post, highlighted nine States which may lose between one to eight Lok Sabha seats each, while other Sstates like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are going to gain 11 and 10 seats respectively.
