Former Union minister P Chidambaram accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of damaging the Indian Constitution. He criticized the ruling party for allegedly undermining the principles of the Constitution and eroding the country’s democracy. Chidambaram’s remarks came during a virtual event organized by the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. He claimed that the BJP was trying to change the basic structure of the Constitution by introducing laws that are against the spirit of the Constitution. The senior Congress leader also accused the BJP government of targeting political opponents and activists who speak out against its policies. Chidambaram urged the people of India to stand up against the erosion of democratic values and defend the Constitution. The veteran politician’s comments come at a time when the BJP government has faced criticism for its handling of various issues, including the controversial farm laws and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chidambaram’s statements are likely to escalate the ongoing political tensions between the Congress party and the BJP. The BJP has not yet responded to Chidambaram’s allegations. The veteran politician has been a vocal critic of the BJP government’s policies and has been actively participating in opposition-led protests against the ruling party. The Congress party has been trying to unite opposition parties to challenge the BJP in the upcoming elections in various states, including Tamil Nadu. Chidambaram’s strong stance against the BJP is expected to resonate with his supporters and could influence the political discourse in the country.
