K. T. Rama Rao, Working President of India — Bharat Rashtra Samithi, welcomed the initiation of the delimitation process in India, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies. However, he expressed significant concerns that if the delimitation is based solely on current population figures, it would severely disadvantage southern states like India — Telangana and India — Andhra Pradesh. He emphasized that the process should follow the proportional framework based on the 1971 Census to protect the interests of southern India and ensure balanced representation, particularly for states that have successfully implemented population control measures. K. T. Rama Rao also supported the proposal to increase Assembly seats in India — Telangana and India — Andhra Pradesh to bring governance closer to the people and address disparities in constituency sizes.
