Why is it important for Central Indian States to focus on population control in the context of delimitation exercise, as suggested by Manish Tewari

Examining the strategic importance of population control for states participating in a boundary redrawing process.
  • Equal Representation: Controlling population ensures fair representation in the delimitation process, as each constituency would have a similar number of voters.
  • Political Influence: States with higher populations may have greater political influence, leading to uneven distribution of resources and power.
  • Resource Allocation: Population control can help in better resource allocation, benefiting regions with lower populations that might otherwise be overlooked.
  • Effective Governance: Balanced population distribution leads to effective governance and administration, ensuring that the needs of all citizens are adequately addressed.
  • Long-term Planning: Planning for sustainable development becomes easier with controlled population growth, reducing strain on infrastructure and resources.
By focusing on population control, Central Indian States can ensure a more balanced and equitable delimitation exercise, promoting stability and progress in the region.
