Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will pilot a resolution on Wednesday in the state Assembly urging the Union Government to permanently maintain the strength of Lok Sabha at 543, official sources said. The government sponsored resolution is expected to urge the Centre to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in the 2029 election to the Lok Sabha without delay, based on the existing 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. On August 8, a Vijay-led meeting of Tamil Nadu MPs belonging to alliance and friendly parties, decided to oppose in total, the proposed delimitation exercise of the Union Government. In that meeting, the MPs had demanded that the ratio of seats between Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha must remain at 2.2:1. It was unanimously decided to adopt a resolution in the State Assembly to permanently safeguard the rights of Tamil Nadu and the other south Indian states in this matter.
