Tamil Nadu seeks permanent freeze on Lok Sabha seats as Opposition boycotts Vijay’s meeting
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay convened a meeting on August 8, 2026, advocating for a permanent freeze on Lok Sabha seats at 543. Only 20 of the state's 57 MPs attended, as key parties like DMK and AIADMK boycotted the event. A resolution urging the Union government to halt delimitation is expected to be introduced in the Assembly next week.
