Modi Resorting to Political Gimmicks on Women's Reservation: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, June 6 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of indulging in political gimmicks over the issue of women's reservation in legislative bodies and reiterated the Congress party's opposition to linking the implementation of reservations with the proposed delimitation exercise.
Speaking during a conversation with N. Ram, Director of The Hindu, at the "The Hindu Huddle" session titled "By, For, and Of the People: Good Governance for Telangana" in Bengaluru, Revanth Reddy said the Congress supports women's reservation but opposes its linkage to an increase in parliamentary seats.
He argued that the proposed expansion of Lok Sabha constituencies would disproportionately benefit northern states. "If parliamentary seats are increased as proposed, raising Lok Sabha seats in Kerala from 20 to 30 and in Uttar Pradesh from 80 to 120, it would be unjust. This is precisely what we oppose," he said.
