A new political storm has erupted in Tamil Nadu, shifting focus from the ongoing Hindi vs Tamil debate to the contentious issue of delimitation. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his recent visit to Tamil Nadu, made a strong statement about delimitation, accusing CM MK Stalin and his son of misleading the public. In response, MK Stalin hit back with a sharp reaction. With the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approaching, he has taken charge, releasing a video message with a direct appeal to the Tamil people. Referring to Tamil identity and rights, he issued a warning to the Centre, urging people to stay alert. MK Stalin called on the people of Tamil Nadu to unite and fight to protect their language, self-respect, and political representation.
CM MK Stalin Warns the Centre Before Assembly Elections
In his video message, CM MK Stalin strongly criticised the Centre and urged the Tamil people to come together. He said, “Today, Tamil Nadu is confronting two critical challenges—the battle for language, which is our lifeline, and the fight against delimitation, which is our right. I earnestly urge you to convey the true essence of our battle to the people. Constituency delimitation directly impacts our state's self-respect, social justice, and welfare schemes for the people. You should take this message to the public. Every individual must rise to defend our state...Today, we are witnessing voices of solidarity rising from Karnataka, Punjab, Telangana, and beyond.”

Further attacking the Centre, MK Stalin added, “Faced with this resistance, the Union Government insists that it is not imposing its will upon us, yet all their actions suggest otherwise. Their three-language policy has already resulted in the withholding of our rightful funds. Likewise, while they claim they will not reduce Tamil Nadu's parliamentary seats, they are unwilling to assure that the representation of other states will not be disproportionately increased. Our demand is clear—do not determine parliamentary constituencies based on population alone...We will never compromise on Tamil Nadu's welfare and future for anyone or anything...Tamil Nadu will resist! Tamil Nadu will prevail!”
Delimitation Sparks New Fire in the Tamil vs Hindi Debate
During his visit to Tamil Nadu, Amit Shah directly attacked CM MK Stalin and his government, stating, “After delimitation, no South Indian state will lose even a single seat. But the CM and his son are trying to mislead the public.”
Following this statement, MK Stalin expressed his anger over Amit Shah's remarks. Without wasting any time, he has now taken a major step by calling a multi-party meeting on March 5, preparing to make delimitation a key issue before the elections.
With the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approaching, the political power struggle in the state is intensifying. Who will gain the upper hand in this battle? All eyes are now on Tamil Nadu.
