The Indian Parliament is considering the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2025, which mandates the automatic resignation of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and ministers if they are detained for more than 30 days on serious criminal charges. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has strongly defended the bill, emphasizing that it promotes accountability and prevents individuals from running governments from jail. Shah highlighted that the bill includes the Prime Minister and noted that the amendment reflects a zero-tolerance stance on corruption. He also mentioned that the bill applies equally to ruling and opposition parties, with many expected to support it on moral grounds. However, the bill has faced criticism from opposition leaders, including Congress and RJD members, who argue that it undermines the principle of innocence until proven guilty and could be misused to target political opponents. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission and ruling BJP leaders of vote theft, launching a 'Voter Adhikaar Yatra' across Bihar with support from allies such as RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin. The yatra aims to raise awareness about alleged electoral malpractices and has drawn significant public attention. BJP leaders have dismissed these allegations as politically motivated and defended the Gujarat model of development. The amendment bill has also sparked debate over parliamentary procedures and the role of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), which the opposition has boycotted. The bill's critics caution that it could destabilize non-BJP governments and erode democratic norms, while proponents argue it is necessary to uphold the rule of law and public trust in governance.
