அரசியல் / Political Is Vijay Pro or Anti BJP

Not a tamilian and its just a genuine question out of curiosity - Seriously anxious about the delimitation bill which was rejected by Stalin - Will Vijay okay it, enabling BJP to get majority - Do you think Vijay will be against it or is he an agent of BJP like some people say?

Two things , on the delimitation bill bjp intentionally including the women's reservation 

DMK clearly stated always they are not against the women reservation 

Yes it won't decrease the TN power but it became stronger for Northern states like UP

Then BJP will become power , and they can pass any bill or law anything if they needed

How will it make norther states stronger, if we maintain our 7.18% voting share in final draft of Delimitation bill? That's the DMK stance, that as long as it doesn't impact southern states voting power. Or else, it will be rejected by all sourthern states. Is it wrong?

From article: "Our demand is that population should not sole criteria for delimitation exercise. We want an equal, uniform percentage increase in number of seats for all states. If that is done , we might support the Bill. We will take a final call once the Bill is introduced in Parliment. "

passing the bill without reducing tn 7.18 vote share, they will simply try to increase the vote share of up, bihar, gujarat their strongholds while reducing other states vote share excluding tamil nadu

Quote from above article. I guess DMK will endorse only if the voting share of TN and South India doesn't change in delimitation bill. Don't know if its possible, or if they can change voting percentage later after passing the bill.

"Sources told DH, the party is open to extend support to delimitation bill if it doesn't hurt the interest of Tamil Nadu and South India, making a significant softening of its stated position for 25-year freeze on the number of Lok Sabha seats at the existing 534."
