While such realignment of seats may fix representation in the Lok Sabha, it’s also likely to hand over political advantage to parties that are based out of northern states, such as the BJP. This has given rise to a debate in which some have questioned if representation according to population numbers should also include provisions for inclusion of those who are under-represented due to social factors.

2006 lo it was just Andhra Pradesh. Why  is Telangana in the map then? And why would someone baseline 2006 information for future realignment.

According to the 2019 research paper India’s Emerging Crisis of Representation by policy analysts Milan Vaishnav and Jaimie Hintson, for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh alone would gain as many as 21 seats in total, while Tamil Nadu and Kerala taken together will lose 16 seats, if the delimitation is carried out according to the 2031 Census — the earliest scheduled after 2026.

The paper further projected that if the strength of the Lok Sabha is increased after the exercise (according to projected population figures), the lower house would have to have a strength of 848, to enable accurate representation, according to the proportion-to-population principle. In such a scenario, Uttar Pradesh would have a whopping 143 Lok Sabha seats (as opposed to the present 80), while Kerala would still have the 20 seats that it has now.

Delimitation is the process of demarcation of the boundaries of parliamentary or assembly constituencies. According to the Constitution, the number of seats allocated to each state in the Lok Sabha is dependent on its population. The Constitution also calls for the reallocation of seats after every Census. However, because of decisions taken by subsequent governments and Parliaments — starting with Indira Gandhi in 1976 and then Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2002 — the last such exercise was carried out after the 1971 Census. According to the Constitution (84th Amendment) Act, 2002, there is a freeze on readjustment of constituencies till the first Census after 2026.

Vaishnav and Hintson’s research illustrated why the long-overdue delimitation of India’s parliamentary constituencies may set off a political crisis of epic proportions in the country.

Not only do states in the south stand to lose out in terms of the number of seats, but the scheduled delimitation and reallocation of seats may also end up giving more power to parties that have their strongholds in the north, such as the BJP. The exercise will also affect the division of seats reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) in each state.

Despite the challenges, however, Vaishnav and Hinston argued that it’s time for the exercise be carried out.

To minimise issues, the two have proposed some remedies in their paper — such as increasing the total number of seats in Parliament to ensure that no state loses the seats it already has. This proposal may also be something that the Union government is considering, going by reports that the architects of the new Lok Sabha, being built as a part of the Central Vista, have been asked to plan for at least 888 seats in the Lower House.

 

According to Congress leader Manish Tewari, BJP might increase the total to 1000 seats in Lok Sabha!

I don't think this has fundamentally anything to do with BJP as a party or its principles. There may be people who still like BJP but still voted for Congress. BJP's government was very corrupt in Karnataka and I am not surprised at all by this result.

Defeat can be a positive if you are willing to be humble and learn from it.
