The Modi government's delimitation bill triggered a political storm, with southern states crying foul, Rahul Gandhi parroting their concerns, and BJP failing to defend the amendment. On this episode of Scrutiny, Anand Ranganathan tries to decode delimitation, clearly, logically and mathematically. He makes the case that southern states would have actually gained seats under this exercise, not losing them and that a proper census-based delimitation would give them even fewer. He also dismantles the family planning argument with a brutal data point: ‘Delhi's total fertility rate is lower than Tamil Nadu's, its per capita contribution to India is higher, and it gets back just 0.5 paisa for every 100 it gives, yet Delhi isn't shouting.’ His verdict on the government? "Congress is a master at deception. BJP is a disaster at perception."Tune in to watch the full episode.
