00:00Go forward with delimitation on the population basis certainly seems extremely unfair.
00:08So what we are seeking is a fair delimitation for meaningful democracy.
00:13Let me also remind the union government, political and fiscal centralization is not going to
00:20help India emerge a superpower.
00:23That we have to remember one simple thing, stronger the states, stronger the country.
00:28The union government should play the role of a big brother, not become the big boss
00:32dictating and you know making progressive states regret their progress.
00:37Number of MLAs being altered within a state does not tip the federal balance.
00:42But if you start tinkering with the number of MPs who are representing in parliament
00:48that will certainly disturb the federal balance.
00:50And what we are proposing is maybe take the national average growth rate or maintain the
00:55same proportion for every state.
00:57Government of India itself through 42nd amendment of the constitution back in 1976 had brought
01:04in population control as a measure and suspended further delimitation for 25 years.
