Youth have sensed something is terribly wrong the way country is being governed: P Chidambaram
The ferment that we witness in the campuses of Indian universities and colleges bears a striking resemblance to the events of 1968.
BJP openly shuns Muslims and intimidates them with NRC-CAA-NPR: P Chidambaram
The Constituent Assembly was not constituted on the principle of ‘one person, one vote’ and hence not truly representative of the people.
‘Project Hindu Rashtra’ must be stopped well before 2024: P Chidambaram
There was shock and awe among other political parties after the BJP’s overwhelming victory in the Lok Sabha elections of May 2019 — 303 for the BJP alone and 353 with the allies.
Nirmala Sitharaman consciously unmade Budget 2019-20: P Chidamabaram
In course of time, some proposals in the budget will be modified; on occasion, one or two proposals may be withdrawn in response to criticism.
Citizenship Act is part of elaborate plan to advance project Hindu Rashtra: P Chidambaram
The Citizenship Act, 1955, recognises citizenship by birth; citizenship by descent; citizenship by registration; citizenship by naturalisation; and citizenship by incorporation of territory.
India’s economy being run without the aid of economists, says P Chidambaram
The protagonist may be elected as the chief minister of a state and may deliver an impressive account of governing the state.
Govt has forgotten the flagging economy: P Chidambaram
Unfortunately, the economy seems to be the last of the concerns of the government which is barely able to conceal the triumphalism after Operation J&K.
Just real estate: Before J&K no state was reduced to Únion territory, says P Chidambaram
The new Article 370 with just one clause is no longer a special provision, it simply applies the whole of the Constitution to J&K.
BJP is passing laws that will reduce states to municipal administrations: P Chidambaram
The Central government (through Parliament) cannot encroach upon the territory reserved for the state government, the state government (through the Legislature) cannot encroach upon the territory reserved for the Central gove
Finance (No 2) Bill-2019 is unconstitutional and unrealistic: P Chidambaram
Like there were serious questions about the Budget, there are serious questions about the Finance Bill.

Unfortunately, the Finance Minister avoided a review of the macro-economic situation and her assessment of the present state of the economy.
Budget 2019: Modi govt is satisfied with 7% growth, but it means nothing
Budget 2019 India: The budget speech uses the phrase ‘structural reforms’ in two places but there is no reference to any measure that could be regarded as structural reform.
India needs radical reforms, not the incremental ones pushed in Budget, explains P Chidambaram
To begin, school education must be transferred to the states — as it was in the original Constitution — to be followed by transferring more subjects from the Concurrent List to the State List. On the contrary, the FM has
Modi’s campaign for One Nation, One Election is unconstitutional: Chidambaram
Balakot was the answer, the Pakistan Air Force was half-prepared, the Indian Air Force hit the targets, and Pakistan shot down an IAF aircraft.
GST, Ujjwala, Swachh Bharat — right policies, bad implementation: P Chidambaram
Swachh Bharat is good policy, but the false statistics fed on ODF status of states and villages is the deceit of small-g government. Ujjwala is good policy, but the replacement cylinder rate of three per year is the failure o
Nirmala Sitharaman has inherited economy with slow growth and worrying fiscal situation: P Chidambaram
The former chief economic adviser, Dr Arvind Subramanian, has cast a shadow on the growth numbers and has, in a way, concurred with the long-time critics of the methodology employed to calculate the GDP.
Modi’s Sabka Vishwas a smart move but fraught with difficulties: P Chidambaram
Not only the number of seats won (303), but the sweep and scale of the BJP’s victory are astounding.
PM-Kisan won’t help agriculture labourers: P Chidambaram
"Observing his first term, I am certain he will make every effort to rise to the challenge. There are two problems in the way."
BJP fought election on divisive agenda, hope governance will be inclusive: P Chidambaram
Let me come back to the competing visions of different political parties. The results of Election 2019 cannot be regarded as a decisive choice of one vision over the others.
As the bitter campaign ends, EC gets ‘average’ on its report card, says P Chidambaram
There has been an abundance of political parties, candidates, rallies and roadshows, money spent, abuses hurled, violence, failure of the vaunted EVMs and VVPATs, and clean chits by the Election Commission (EC).
Indian economy has entered danger zone, writes P Chidambaram
When the management of the economy is entrusted to novices or tyrants, the consequences will soon follow. Demonetisation was a classic example.
Modi making outrageous claims, skirting real issues, writes P Chidambaram
The 71 seats propelled the BJP to form a government with an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha. If the BJP loses even half of the seats it won in UP, it will not be able to form a government on its own strength. It is, theref
BJP leaders running an outrageous campaign, says P Chidambaram
I suspect that there are several candidates in India who would like to do a Donald Trump and be as successful in the elections to the Lok Sabha that are underway.
Modi vs Manifesto: Hindi heartland to witness battle of ideas, says P Chidambaram
Every Lok Sabha election in India is unique even if the two main contestants are the same.
BJP manifesto limited by Modi’s unwillingness to listen: Across the Aisle by P Chidambaram
The BJP’s manifesto was released with almost no fanfare on April 8, 2019. The modesty was unnatural for the BJP! The BJP had much to be modest about.
BJP riled by Congress manifesto, may be revising its own: P Chidambaram
What is different about CEM 2019 that has made it the talk of the town (and the village) within a few hours? The answer is that the CEM is the voice of the people.
Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay recognises the right of the poorest on country’s resources: P Chidambaram
