Telangana Roars Against Delimitation: Kalvakuntla Kavitha Issues Stern Warning to Centre

Hyderabad, April 16

: A political storm is brewing as Telangana Jagruti president Kalvakuntla Kavitha launched a fierce attack on the Centre over the proposed delimitation exercise. In a strongly worded statement, she warned that any attempt to dilute Telangana’s political voice in Parliament would be met with massive public resistance. “If the Centre dares to choke Telangana’s representation, people will take to the streets,” she declared, signaling a potential flashpoint in national politics.

Kavitha did not mince words while highlighting what she called a “systematic injustice” against Telangana. She pointed out that the state currently holds just 3.13% representation in Parliament — already among the lowest in the country. Calling this figure the “bare minimum,” she insisted that any reduction post-delimitation would be seen as a direct attack on Telangana’s self-respect and democratic rights.

Taking aim at the Centre’s proposal to increase parliamentary seats by nearly 50%, Kavitha argued that the move may look progressive on paper but hides a dangerous imbalance beneath. She alleged that Telangana stands to lose out significantly compared to other states, widening regional disparities instead of correcting them. “This is not reform, this is political sidelining,” she charged.

With her sharp remarks, Kavitha has escalated the political heat, putting the delimitation debate at the center of national discourse. As tensions rise, all eyes are now on the Centre’s response, while Telangana braces for a possible wave of protests that could redefine the political narrative in the coming dayThe Telangana Jagruti leader further accused the Centre of ignoring the principles of federalism and fair representation. She emphasized that population-based redistribution without safeguarding smaller or recently formed states like Telangana would only deepen inequality. According to her, such policies risk turning democratic representation into a numbers game that marginalizes emerging states.
