What happened (Rahul Gandhi’s statements and action)
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, urged Tamil Nadu political parties to oppose the Delimitation Bill in Parliament.
Rahul Gandhi said that any political party supporting the Delimitation Bill in Parliament would act like a “betrayer” of the people of Tamil Nadu.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that delimitation is a BJP plan to disenfranchise Tamil Nadu’s people and reduce Tamil Nadu’s political power.
Rahul Gandhi met families of NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) aspirants from Tamil Nadu and remarked that seeing parents grieve is painful.
