A sharp exchange over the proposed delimitation exercise played out in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, with BJP MP Tejasvi Surya launching a pointed attack on the Opposition’s arguments and questioning the logic behind their objections.

“On what basis do you want this delimitation exercise to be conducted? Will the rich have more votes and the poor have none?” Surya asked, adding that such reasoning would mean “Mukesh Ambani would have one lakh votes and someone like us just one.”

Hitting out directly at Congress’ leaders, Surya said, “If you take this argument further, Mukesh Ambani will have one lakh votes and someone like us will have only one vote. Is this the kind of logic the Congress wants to build?”

– Ends
