Live: Would there be a clear winner between north and south India in the delimitation exercise?

Hi, welcome to Beyond Averages, our weekly data podcast, where we decode the story one number at a time. The opposition and the government are at loggerheads again, this time over the issue of delimitation. As the date for delimitation nears, with the process expected to start after the census in 2026, opposition parties led by those leading the southern states have opened a front against population-based delimitation. Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin is calling for a freeze for another 25 years, while also asking for fair delimitation. But what’s fair to south may not be fear for north.
