Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), on Monday, attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government for the the situation in Manipur and on-going delimitation of parliamentary seats and the State Assembly seats. 

The party said that BJP is increasing the numbers of parliamentary seats in Hindi belt compared to other states for its own political safe zone through the delimitation. This will create a ditch between relations among North Indian States and South Indian States.   . 

Addressing a press meet at the part headquarter in the State Capital JMM General Secretary cum Spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said that during recently held BJP's mother organisation Rashtrya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) Pratinidhi Sabha meet these two issues of Manipur and delimitation raised prominently. RSS asked several questions to the Government on these two issues but the Government was not replied, he added.

Bhattacharya also said that the BJP led Central Government is by its malign intention trying to create a safe zone for future through the ongoing delimitation. It has not published the Census report of 2011 which has completed and the Central Government is holding the delimitation on Census of 2001.

"Almost all seats changed their demographic equation in these years. The last delimitation was held in 2008 on the basis of 2001 Census and then Delimitation Commission of India decided that the next delimitation would be held in 2026. We can easily understand by the example of Jharkhand that what it was in 2001 and now it is completely changed," said Bhattacharya.

The party General Secretary alleged that through the delimitation BJP is trying to weaken South India and North-East India and East India's representation in the parliament. "As per information we are getting the seats parliamentary seats will increase in Uttar Pradesh from 80 to 143, in Bihar from 40 to 79, in Madhya Pradesh from 29 to 52, in Maharashtra from 48 to 76, in Gujarat from 26 to 43, in Rajasthan from 25 to 50, in Andhra and Telangana from 42 to 52 and in West Bengal from 42 to 60," he added.   

Replying to question Bhattacharya said that JMM is opposing the amendment in Waqf Board Act and the party will participate in protest on March 26 against the upcoming Waqf Board Amendment Bill. In Jharkhand the Waqf Board Act is working as per the law and Rajya Sabha MP, Sarfaraj Ahmad is Chairman in the State of the Waqf Board Committee.
