Explanation by: Admin

Delimitation of constituencies refers to the process of redrawing the boundaries of electoral constituencies to reflect changes in population.

  • According to Article 82 of the Indian Constitution, only the Parliament has the authority to make provisions related to the delimitation of constituencies after every census.
  • Parliament passes a Delimitation Act, and thereafter, the Delimitation Commission is constituted by the Central Government to carry out the delimitation process.

Other Options:

  • (B) President – Cannot make laws; only gives assent or acts on the advice of the Council of Ministers.
  • (C) Rajya Sabha – It is part of the Parliament, but cannot act independently on delimitation.
  • (D) State Legislature – Has no role in delimitation of Parliamentary constituencies.

Conclusion:

Parliament has the exclusive power to make provisions with respect to delimitation of constituencies.
Hence, the correct answer is (A) Parliament.
