‘Political vendetta’: Congress vows to block Bill seeking automatic removal of PM, CMs after 30 days in jail

The Congress party has voiced its vigorous objections to the upcoming Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill. This bill proposes the automatic expulsion of ministers—including the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers—upon being held in judicial custody for 30 days due to serious criminal charges. Congress believes this proposal is a tactic for political intimidation, anticipating that the BJP-led government will lack the necessary two-thirds majority to push it through.
