DMK has signalled a possible shift on the Delimitation Bill ahead of Parliament’s Monsoon Session. Months after M K Stalin burnt a copy of the legislation, the party now says it will study the proposed Bill before taking a position. DMK maintains that it is not against increasing Lok Sabha seats but wants safeguards to prevent southern states from losing political representation. With 22 Lok Sabha MPs, its stance could influence the parliamentary battle. The development also deepens pressure on Congress after its alliance breakdown with DMK and support for Vijay’s government in Tamil Nadu following the 2026 Assembly election.
