Amit Shah: PM Modi got draft reworked to bring himself under ambit
PM Modi NEW DELHI: It was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had the draft of Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025 reworked to include himself in its ambit, home minister Amit Shah shared in a post on X on Wednesday. Sources in the government said Modi added the provision requiring a prime minister who spends 30 consecutive days under arrest or detention for an alleged offence punishable with a prison term extending up to five years or more, to resign on the 31st day, based on the reasoning that moral standards in politics must apply as much to prime ministers as they do to any chief minister or minister at the Centre and in states or Union Territories. The original draft of the 130th Constitutional amendment Bill had proposed to cover only chief ministers and ministers at the Centre and in the states. As per the Bill, introduced by Shah on Wednesday, in case the prime minister does not tender his resignation on the 31st day of his arrest, "he shall cease to hold office from the day falling thereafter". The Bill was on Wednesday referred to a joint parliamentary committee for thorough scrutiny. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Europe Travel Hack That Saves You Hundreds on Trips!

The functionary said it was high time that the PM, CM and ministers display character and conduct that aligns with constitutional morality and principles of good governance, and cited the example of govt employees who are deemed suspended if detained in custody for only 48 hours. "Why should bureaucrats/govt personnel alone bear moral responsibility in the event of detention or arrest? Ministers are also public servants and must withdraw from office if arrested for 30 days. They can always rejoin the same post after release," underlined the functionary. He added that the 30-day timeframe is enough for the affected PM/CM/minister to apply for bail and have it heard and decided, right till the last court of appeal.

After 'vote chori', it's 'satta chori', claims opposition, says bill aimed at keeping Naidu, Nitish in check
Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi NEW DELHI: Even as it anchored the protest against the bill on unseating jailed ministers and CMs in the constitutional provisions, Congress claimed BJP brass was conjuring up the provision to keep a check on its two allies - CMs Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar - a political spin that struck a chord with the rest of the opposition as the issue flared up Wednesday. Rahul Gandhi said the bill takes the country back to "medieval times" when a king could just remove anybody at will, just for not liking somebody's face. In the thick of opposition protest on "vote chori", Modi govt's move on a constitutional amendment to provide for automatic dismissal of any minister who has been jailed for 30 days, initially surprised anti-BJP camp. But INDIA bloc soon concluded it was a BJP bid to "distract" people from "vote chori" that has triggered a national campaign under a united rival camp. Congress MP K C Venugopal said, "When allies like Naidu and Nitish need to be threatened... the home minister brings this dangerous bill that strikes at the heart of the constitutional principles." The spin is not only in step with opposition's jibes post-2024 that Modi 3.0 is governing on crutches, but adds an intrigue to it. INDIA has been relishing the fact that TDP chose to write to EC on SIR in line with opposition's concerns and in defiance of BJP. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cable TV Cable TV Search Now It also inserts a mischief ahead of Bihar polls where BJP is aligned with JD(U). But the generic attack line, that further cements the unity among regional parties, is that BJP is looking to destabilise opposition states. Congress MP Manickam Tagore sarcastically said, "Amid 'vote chori', this is law for 'satta chori'." RSP MP N K Premachandran said it is Article 356, by which the Centre can dismiss a state govt, by another name. "It is, in fact, an easier 356. Under the proposed law, you don't need a governor's report or evidence. Just file a case and arrest a CM for a month, and the govt is vulnerable." Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee said, "When EC could not be twisted to their tune, they unleashed ED, with an ulterior motive to jail opposition leaders, topple elected govts, and steal people's mandate. This is a super emergency."
