West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee unleashed a scathing attack on the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, branding it a "draconian" measure that could permanently dismantle India’s democratic framework. In a fiery post on X, the Trinamool Congress leader described the proposed legislation as "more than a super-Emergency," warning that it threatens to end the democratic era and undermine the independence of the judiciary.

The bill, set to be introduced in Parliament on Wednesday, allows for the removal of a prime minister, Union ministers, chief ministers, or state ministers arrested or detained on serious criminal charges for 30 consecutive days. Banerjee condemned the legislation as a direct assault on India’s federal structure and constitutional values, alleging it aims to establish a "one man-one-party-one government" system. "This bill tramples upon the basic structure of the Constitution," she stated, urging fierce resistance to protect democracy.

Banerjee’s remarks echo broader opposition concerns, with critics arguing the bill enables the central government to target opposition leaders through arbitrary arrests, bypassing convictions. The Trinamool Congress chief’s warning comes amid growing tensions between the BJP-led central government and opposition-ruled states, with fears that the legislation could centralize power and erode judicial autonomy.
