The bill has been heavily criticised by the opposition, with Congress MP Priyanka Vadra calling it a ‘draconian” bill.  “Tomorrow, you can file any case against a chief minister, have him/her arrested for 30 days without conviction, and he ceases to be a chief minister? It is anti-constitutional.

Shashi Tharoor, however, has taken a different tack, again.  “If you spend 30 days in jail, can you continue to be a minister? This is a matter of common sense, I don’t see anything wrong in this, he said.  (Maxim News)
