Chennai, April 20 -- Slamming the Opposition over the defeat of the Constitution Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K. Annamalai on Monday criticised the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Congress, questioning their opposition despite what he described as improved representation for southern states.

Speaking to ANI, Annamalai said, "I really don't understand what DMK's problem and Congress's problem is when all the southern Indian states' quota went up by 50%."

"The overall proportional representation of southern India continues to be at 23.9%, a marginal increase from 23.7%. So nobody has a problem except DMK and Congress. DMK wanted to propagate the dynasty... People of Tamil Nadu are watching it...
