While delimitation of constituencies had forced some leaders to look for new constituencies, in no way it would affect any political party. Changes in boundaries of constituencies, increase in number of urban constituencies, increase in number of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) reserved constituencies will have minor affect on prospects of political parties. Since these changes would have effect at the state level for different parties and some of these would cancel each other, it would hardly have any impact at the national level. The prospects of political parties would be decided by things other than the new delimitation. (Sanjay Kumar is political analyst and commentator.
