BRS' Rao objects to provisions of census and delimitation
Keshava Rao (BRS) says his party supports the Bill but objects to the provisions of census and delimitation. Rao says if Census was so crucial for the government, it could have used the 2011 Census figures as benchmark. Rao wonders if fresh Census has been introduced as a precondition for implementation of the Bill because post-Census and fresh Delimitation, number of seats in states from southern India will go down because population of southern states, including Telangana, is less (compared to Hindi Heartland states like UP, MP, Bihar).
