00:05big breaking news coming in with regard to chief minister Vijay is there a softer stand that's
00:10coming in for the delimitation bill remember that the state of Tamil Nadu for example has vehemently
00:16been opposing the delimitation bill but now days after seeking a freeze on parliament 543 seats
00:22Vijay has said I quote him here first percentage of Tamil Nadu seats should not fall Vijay in the
00:29meeting with Amit Shah said meet clear parliamentary assurance do not punish Tamil Nadu for population
00:35control uphold the equity and federal balance so he's asking for further clarity assurance to come
00:42in let me bring in Pramod Madhav on this Pramod do we say this that this is possibly a change
00:48in what
00:48he's or what he's mentioning this is his old stance what are you picking up about the choice of words
00:54here so yeah the choice of what seems to be very very clear over this particular part because like
00:58the chief minister has spoken on nine different topics over here and if I had to record the chief
01:03minister's exact lines he says I therefore urge the government to provide a clear legislative
01:08assurance that this is the legislative assurance that no state will suffer a reduction in its
01:14percentage of representation in parliament on account of its success in population
01:18stabilization such an approach would uphold the principles of equity preserve the federal balance
01:23envisioned by the constitution and reinforce the confidence of the states in our democratic
01:28institutions the important aspect over here is that now there are possibilities that TVK might
01:32be questioned by the opposition over here because earlier that there was a kind of resolution that
01:36was also passed in Tamil Nadu assembly over freezing of the numbers at 453 sorry 543 which has been not
01:43mentioned in this particular statement so the probably the chief minister wants to say that in no matter
01:47even if the delimitation by which this numbers are increased the percentage of representation for the state of
01:53Tamil Nadu and other states which has you know that successfully had a population control that numbers
01:58should continue this is what the chief minister says over here but quite a lot of like in between
02:03lines also reading by being read by the opposition and definitely they will raise it up at least very
02:08soon probably the assembly tomorrow as well puja all right very interesting promote keep tracking all the latest on
02:13that
02:13you
