P Chidambaram announces Congress’ significant CAA position amidst Pinarayi Vijayan’s criticism for Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

P Chidambaram, a prominent figure in the Congress party, has urged the public to vote for the INDIA bloc in Delhi. He stated that the Congress party’s objective is to revoke the CAA, even though it is not explicitly mentioned in its manifesto. This has led to criticism from Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the CPI(M), who have accused the Congress of not addressing the CAA in its manifesto.

In response to these criticisms, Chidambaram defended the absence of the CAA in the manifesto, stating that it was omitted due to its length. He emphasized that as the chairman of the manifesto committee, he is aware of the party’s intention, asserting that the CAA will be completely repealed, not just amended, once the INDIA Bloc forms the government in Delhi. Furthermore, Chidambaram dismissed claims that the Congress has not opposed the CAA, citing Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor’s statement against the law in Parliament.

When asked about the impact of the Ayodhya Ram temple inauguration on the elections, he expressed hope that it would not influence the outcome, emphasizing that the temple’s construction should not play a role in politics or elections. Chidambaram also criticized Mr. Vijayan and the CPI(M), asserting that the Congress is better positioned to fight the BJP and form a government in Delhi. He urged voters to consider the national significance of the election, emphasizing the Congress’ ability to battle the BJP across India.

In conclusion, Chidambaram urged the public to vote for the INDIA bloc in Delhi, highlighting the upcoming polling date in Kerala for the Lok Sabha election and the nationwide results declaration.
