Congress and its allies will continue to oppose Delimitation Bill, says TNCC chief

Alleging that the BJP was desperate to bypass the growing anger against it and would attempt to pass the Delimitation Bill in Parliament, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president Manickam Tagore said on Sunday that the Congress and its INDIA bloc allies would continue to oppose it.

Speaking at a press conference in Chennai, Mr. Tagore, referring to the DMK without naming it, said the people of Tamil Nadu would remember who burnt the copies of the Bill (in its earlier avatar) and added he hoped that there would be no change in that stand.

“Who spoke against delimitation? Who supported it? BJP, PMK, and AIADMK. We need to see who joins them. Delimitation is against Tamil Nadu. The ones who are keeping quiet should answer,” he said.
