New Delhi, Dec 17 (ANI): While addressing an event in the national capital on December 16, the former president of India Pranab Mukherjee said, “There has been an embargo on increasing the number of seats in parliament and state assemblies till 2026. This has resulted in the fact that the number of voters per Lok Sabha constituency as per 2011 census, has risen to more than 16 lakhs.”
“There is a strong case for removing this freeze on the number of seats in the delimitation exercise. We should ideally increase to about 1,000 Lok Sabha MPs with a corresponding rise in Rajya Sabha MPs,” the former president added.
