The DMK announced plans to legally contest the delimitation bill should it gain approval in Parliament. The party voiced concerns over the potential implications for southern states, with legal department secretary N R Elango asserting the readiness for judicial battle.

The DMK expressed skepticism about the bill's passage, reflecting on past government measures like demonetisation, deemed ineffective by DMK leaders. Organizing Secretary R S Bharathi criticized the absence of substantial assurances regarding the bill's impact.
