Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has launched a scathing critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent announcement to expand Lok Sabha seats, alleging that the move strategically disadvantages southern states.
Addressing concerns over potential disparities, Siddaramaiah emphasized the importance of equitable representation, pointing out that southern states would gain minimal additional seats compared to BJP-dominated regions.
The Chief Minister challenged the fairness of the proposed expansion, arguing that it concentrates political power further in the north and sidelines states like Karnataka, despite their contributions to controlling population growth and national governance.
