In the event of Chief Ministers, Ministers, Ministers and Prime Minister, the Congress has suffered a major setback over the Bills who dismissed from the post and the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on constitutional amendments. After TMC, now the Samajwadi Party has also come out against it. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Samajwadi Party (SP) flatly refused to participate in this committee. The boycott of TMC was believed to be already fixed, but the SP’s decision has created a stir in the opposition camp. Now the pressure on the Congress has increased in the name of opposition solidarity. The Congress was still in favor of joining the JPC, but the SP’s attitude has started deepening the doubt within the party.
Akhilesh Yadav said- Bill’s thinking is wrong
SP President Akhilesh Yadav also strongly opposed this bill while supporting TMC. He said in a conversation with the Times of India that “The idea of the bill is wrong. Who has introduced this bill i.e. Home Minister Amit Shah, he himself has said many times that false cases were imposed on him. If anyone can put a fake case on anyone, then what is the meaning of this bill?”
Akhilesh Yadav further said that this is the reason that SP leaders like Azam Khan, Ramakant Yadav and Irfan Solanki were imprisoned. He described the bills as a collision with the federal structure of India. Akhilesh said that as it happened in UP, the Chief Minister can withdraw the criminal cases registered in his states. The Center will not have any control over this because law and order is the subject of the state. The Center will be able to interfere only in those cases, which will be filed by central agencies such as CBI and ED.
TMC told JPC spectacle
The Trinamool Congress termed the JPC formed to consider the three bills who set out the outline of removing the Prime Minister and the Chief Ministers. TMC made it clear that she will not send any of her members in it.
TMC issued a statement saying that it has been opposing the 130th Amendment Bill of the Constitution since the time of introduction and believes that this JPC is just a show. Therefore, Trinamool has decided not to nominate a member in it.
Three important bills introduced
Recently, large bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha. These include:
- Union Territory Government (Amendment) Bill 2025
- Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill 2025
- Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization (Amendment) Bill 2025
These Bills have been sent to the Joint Committee of Parliament (JPC). There is a provision among the proposed bills that if the Prime Minister, Chief Minister or Minister stays in jail for 30 consecutive days on any serious charge, then the legal system of removing them from the post will be implemented.
Committee time limit
These bills were brought in the last days of the monsoon session. The opposition strongly opposed them. The committee has been instructed to submit its report to the House in the winter session. This session will probably be held in the third week of November.
Derek O’Brien’s attack
TMC leader Derek O’Brien in Rajya Sabha launched a scathing attack on the central government. He said that the Center remained in “defensive” currency throughout the monsoon session and took several measures to obstruct the proceedings.
He called the ruling alliance “weak” in his post on social media platform ‘X’. O’Brien wrote that the Modi alliance with 239 seats in the entire monsoon session was continuously defensive. He said that the Vice President was absent throughout the session and the BJP has not yet received the new national president. O’Brien further said that “vote theft scam” also came to light and under pressure, the government discovered ways to obstruct the entire session.
