Referring to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in this context, the Congress leader said, “In 2014 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act.
Both the Telugu-speaking states were given the right to increase the assembly constituencies.
In Telangana, the number of assembly seats increased from 119 to 153 while in Andhra it increased from 175 to 225 seats and it comes under the provisions of Article 170 of the Constitution. ‘
Delimitation necessary with change in the area
There is a change in the state or region due to population and other reasons and hence the process of delimitation is necessary in order to organize representation.
Under the delimitation, the reserved seats are determined with the appropriate division of the assembly constituencies according to the population.
This process is done on the basis of area, population, geographical and political situation, communication facility, and contemporary reasons.
