The LOK SABHA constituencies are being restructured. THE BASIS - Population of the region. What does this mean for us - 1. This simply means - if some region has grown in population , it deserves and will receive more representation in LS
2. Sounds good as a concept but we all know its a number game at lok sabha - one such game is on today in delhi, and like earlier games UP holds the trump card.
2. UP and bihar (original complete states) send 84 and 54 MPs resp. to Lok sabha
3. gone are the days when UP sent people like Nehru, lal bahadurji to lok sabha. Today people like mulayam, mayawati and goons sitting in jails hold the cards. This is JUST because they have numbers.
4. restructuring based on population would mean more MPs from these states
5. States like kerala and some north eastern states will be the biggest losers - their crime - they worked hard to control the poulation growth. - result - LESS NUMBERS IN LS - less say in central politics
These 2 states are at the bottom of all the growth indicaters - economic or social. industris, employment, social grounds like infant mortality, girl child death, rapes, crimes agnst women - they are at the bottom in each list. These figures show the performance of the governance (read politicians - and NOT POOR PEOPLE) and we are likely to have more of them on national level. SOUNDS PSSIMISTIC BUT GET READY TO BE GOVERNED BY GOONS GUYS

If we believe in democracy, the numbers are vital. An individual in Kerala and in UP/Bihar has equal rights. So number of MPs will be based on population. If Kerala controlled population, they benefit from it - of cource having fewer MPs is a slight disadvantage. But will there be big difference in the development of Kerala, if Keral had 24 MPs instead of the 20 now?

Such restructuring will divide India. Why should those states which make attempts to control population should pay for idiocy of UP, Bihar, etc.

The process of restructuring is already on my friend - this could be the scene in next gen. elections. and having lesser MPs is naturally a big negative - in a house which has serious money / food crunch its important that the resources are divided equally and the lazy guys are kicked so that they improve, but if the lazy guy has the might he will eat others' food and equality will remain a CONCEPT to be studied by PHD aspirants only. so like i said its a number game - forget regionalism we simply want more good guys in Loksabha isnt it ? which looks impossible with this new formula

A state like Tamilnadu whose population has seen limited growth since 1960's(when the last restructuring of loksabha according to region was done) will not allow it's MP's to be dwindled. Even AP, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat have not seen so much growth. These are very powerful states. Things are not as simple as you think. If they go ahead with such stupid ideas, India will certainly be divided. Let the ullu, agarbatti, kanchiram, go to hell or shut their mouth.

Forget all other states. One Tamil Nadu will make a lot of noise if they go ahead with such policies. It will only increase separatist mindset.

It's better if people in UP/Bihar are withheld of their voting rights. They deserve nothing more than cattle..all they do is produce is babies and crap.
