A bill in this aspect should be tabled in the upcoming Budget session of Parliament the next year and should be passed. Center has come to a conclusion that the bill can be passed without making a constitutional amendment.

As of now, under every MP segment, there are seven Assembly segments. They will be increased to nine which will take the MLA seats in AP to 225 (175 now) and in Telangana to 153 (119 now).
