'BJP govt planning to table bill at poll time': Former Union finance minister P Chidambaram

P Chidambaram, the ex-Union Finance Minister, has raised concerns about a potential constitutional amendment by the BJP government aiming to increase Parliament seats to an ambitious 816. He argues that this strategy coincides with the upcoming elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, hinting that it could facilitate the passage of legislation in the absence of campaigning MPs.
