Tamil Nadu CM C Joseph Vijay is likely to move an Assembly resolution seeking a permanent freeze on the Lok Sabha's strength at 543 seats and retention of the existing inter-State distribution. The move follows a meeting convened by Vijay with Tamil Nadu MPs at Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai on August 8. Of the State’s 57 MPs, comprising 39 Lok Sabha and 18 Rajya Sabha members, only 19 attended the meeting. The proposed resolution is also likely to call for preserving the existing Lok Sabha-Rajya Sabha ratio of 2.2:1. Importantly, the demand for women's reservation would be based on the existing 543-seat strength of the Lok Sabha, rather than waiting for any expansion or redistribution of seats following delimitation.
