Madurai, Apr 5: Key resolutions seeking fair and equitable delimitation, further extending freeze on seat allocation to safeguard federal integrity, holding of general and caste census and condemning the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the manner in which elections were conducted in the past deade, were adopted at the 24th National Congress of the CPI(M) here on Friday.
One of the resolutions firmly opposed any delimitation process that diminishes or reduces the proportional share of representation of any state in Parliament.
Urging the Central Government to engage in extensive consultations with political parties and state governments to build a broad consensus on this crucial issue, it said with the freeze on the number of seats in Parliament and Legislative Assemblies set to end next year, a fresh round of delimitation will be required following the first census conducted
after 2026.
