After bifurcation of the state, there will be total 119 MLA seats and 15 MP seats in Telangana. However, senior Congress leader Marri Sashidar Reddy is demanding to increase the number of MLA seats from present 119 to 153 for a smooth and stable functioning of the government.
He quotes Uttarakhand state has 14 MLA seats to each Lok Sabha constituency and Delhi has 10 MLA seats. He demands the Centre should maintain the same proportion in case of Telangana also. If, the Centre agrees for his demand then the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh, which has 25 Lok Sabha constituencies and 142 MLA seats, will also to be considered for the same raise of MLA seats.
In such case, it may be anywhere between 250 and 350 seats. This is nothing but providing political employment to political leaders for which people have to carry this additional financial burden. People have seen how their representatives are indulged in a dirty fight with their counterparts, while leaving the people to cyclones and price hike.
