He’s demanding delimitation (seat allocation) stick to the 1971 census, not the latest one. Why? Because southern states controlled population growth, and now they’re being penalized for it. Their economic contribution? 33% of India’s GDP, but only ~20% of the population. That’s a big gap. Shivakumar also pushed for women’s reservation without waiting for a new delimitation; women, he says, have waited long enough. He’s calling for unity among southern states to protect their political voice and even flipped the script on water disputes: “Water must unite us, not divide us.” Plus, he’s taking on PSUs auctioning state land without permission; says those lands belong to the people, not corporations. This isn’t just politics. It’s about fairness, fairness in voice, in resources, and in representation. Southern states built India’s economy. Now they’re asking for their fair share in power too.
