Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, ahead of a Constitution debate in the Lok Sabha on Friday, raised concerns about governance in India, accusing the central government of engaging in “unconstitutional activities” and misusing autonomous institutions. Kharge emphasized the need for a detailed debate to shed light on these issues.

Speaking to reporters, Kharge said, “We have insisted on a discussion on the Constitution because many unconstitutional activities are taking place, autonomous bodies are being misused, and governance is lacking. This debate will expose the manner in which governance is conducted.”

Kharge also addressed the Union Cabinet's approval of the contentious ‘One Nation, One Election’ bill, stating that the Congress would examine its contents thoroughly before commenting. The bill, aimed at synchronizing elections across India, is expected to be tabled in Parliament shortly.

The Constitution debate in the Lok Sabha is part of the commemoration of 75 years since its adoption. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, newly elected from Wayanad, is anticipated to deliver her maiden speech during the session.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the two-day debate, with contributions expected from over a dozen BJP leaders and prominent Opposition members, including DMK’s TR Balu and TMC’s Mahua Moitra. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will conclude the discussions on December 14 evening.
