DMK, AIADMK Skip CM Vijay's All-Party Meeting on Delimitation

In a significant political development, political parties in Tamil Nadu, including the DMK and AIADMK, have decided to stay away from the all-party MPs' meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay on Saturday to discuss the issue of delimitation. Out of the state's 57 MPs, only 20 are expected to attend the session, while 37 have opted to stay away, signalling a lack of consensus on the Chief Minister's initiative.

The meeting was called by



CM Vijay to formulate a unified state response to the proposed delimitation exercise, which has raised concerns over the potential reduction of parliamentary seats for southern states. 

According to the attendance details, the 20 MPs participating in the meeting primarily represent the Congress and its smaller allies. The expected attendees include 12 from the Congress, two each from the VCK, CPI, and CPI(M), and one each from the MDMK and IUML.
