Why now? Because Tamil Nadu’s stakes have become bigger than opposition unity. The revised bill proposes a 50% seat hike across all states; from 543 to 850; and paves the way for women’s reservation in Parliament. With 22 MPs, DMK’s support (or even silence) could be the tipping point the NDA needs to cross the 360-vote threshold. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about regional power, future elections, and who gets to define the next decade of Indian democracy. The real story? Sometimes, the most silent moves make the loudest impact.
