Former Union Minister P Chidambaram accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of damaging the constitution during a virtual event organized by the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. Chidambaram criticized the BJP for allegedly undermining the principles of the constitution and accused them of eroding the federal structure of India. He also expressed concern over the increasing centralization of power by the BJP government. The senior Congress leader highlighted the importance of upholding the values enshrined in the constitution and called for protecting the federal structure of the country. Chidambaram urged the people of India to stand up against what he called the BJP’s unconstitutional actions and to defend the principles of democracy. He emphasized the need for unity among opposition parties to protect the constitution and safeguard the democratic institutions of the country. The virtual event saw the participation of several Congress leaders from Tamil Nadu, who echoed Chidambaram’s sentiments and vowed to fight against any attempts to undermine the constitution. The BJP has not yet responded to Chidambaram’s allegations. The virtual event comes amidst ongoing political tensions in Tamil Nadu, with the state gearing up for assembly elections in the coming months. Chidambaram’s remarks are likely to further intensify the political discourse in the state as parties gear up for a heated electoral battle.
