In Letter To Amit Shah, Union Minister Proposes New Unreserved Lok Sabha Seat In Manipur After 2026

Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh in a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah said all efforts should be made to ensure fair distribution and creation of reserved (SC/ST) and unreserved seats in Manipur

Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh has written to Home Minister Amit Shah over the delimitation exercise in Manipur which is likely to happen once the moratorium ends in 2026, if it is not postponed.

Mr Singh proposed creating a new unreserved Lok Sabha seat by combining the eight unreserved assembly seats currently under the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha seat, which is a Scheduled Tribes (ST) reserved constituency.

Delimitation is done to fix the boundaries of constituencies to represent changes in population.
