Addressing the media at the first Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting on delimitation in Chennai, Reddy, said, "We are one country, and we can't accept this proposed delimitation because it will politically limit us and punish us for being a performing state. We have to stop any unfair delimitation. Don't increase Lok Sabha seats. South India will not accept population-based delimitation. If the BJP implements population-based delimitation, South India will lose its political voice, and North India will make us secondary citizens."
