In a significant political development, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has voiced its disapproval of the Delimitation Bill, labeling it a threat to state interests. Party spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai clarified the DMK's stance amidst recent speculations of the party lending support to the central government on this contentious bill.
DMK leader MK Stalin has directed party MPs to assume a 'constructive opposition' role in the upcoming Monsoon Session. Meanwhile, Congress is set to vehemently oppose the Delimitation Bill alongside several other proposed legislations, accusing the government of attempting to push through controversial measures.
