The ‘hybrid model for delimitation’ proposed by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy emerged as the central point of contention in Parliament, triggering a sharp political exchange between the BJP and the Congress, even as the idea gains traction among several southern States.
The model, put forward by Mr. Revanth Reddy, seeks to balance population-based representation with economic performance indicators such as Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) as one of the parameters for delimitation. The suggestion entered the national discourse, particularly amid concerns among southern States over potential loss of parliamentary representation.
