P Chidambaram On One Nation One Election, Delimitation, Vijay Govt & 'Dimaagi Naxal' Remark
In an exclusive NDTV conversation, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram speaks on the government's One Nation, One Election push and the looming delimitation debate. Chidambaram says both bills could be defeated, arguing that simultaneous elections would undermine India's federal structure and questioning the claimed financial savings. On delimitation, he says the southern states have a united front and warns that states in the South could lose Lok Sabha seats based on population. Chidambaram also assesses Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's first 100 days, praises steps to curb corruption in several departments, and explains why he proudly calls himself a "Dimaagi Naxal" in response to the political rhetoric.
