India’s Political Debate: Modi’s Constituency Redefinition Plan Faces Strong Opposition
A major political debate is unfolding in India as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal to redefine parliamentary constituencies faces strong opposition.

1. Why is Modi’s Constituency Redefinition Plan Controversial?
Understanding the Proposal

- ⚖ Opposition’s Argument: Southern leaders demand that 1971 census data continue to be used until 2056 to maintain fair representation.
- 🎤 Government’s Response: BJP claims the opposition is creating a north-south divide and argues that the plan ensures equal voter representation.
➡ Key Concern: Could this move shift political power disproportionately to northern India?
2. Opposition Leaders Take a Stand
Who is Opposing the Plan?
