P. Chidambaram Discusses BJP’s Political Approach and India’s Constitutional Framework

P. Chidambaram compares the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China's Communist Party, noting both aim to maintain long-term power. While India’s Constitution mandates a secular, democratic system with multiple parties and regular elections, the RSS, BJP's ideological mentor, envisions a nation with one language, culture, political party, and religion. Modi is described as pragmatic in advancing this vision through legislative and administrative measures since 2014, including the Citizenship Amendment Act and Jammu and Kashmir reorganization.
