On 26 November, as India observes the 75th anniversary of its Constitution, a heated debate emerged between the Modi government and the INDIA bloc over the list of speakers for the joint parliamentary sitting. The controversy centers on the inclusion of opposition leaders in the event, with the opposition questioning their representation and the government’s decision to limit their participation. This disagreement highlights ongoing tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition, as the nation marks a significant milestone in its constitutional history. The dispute over who gets to speak has added a political dimension to the Constitution Day celebrations.

On 26 November, as India commemorates the 75th anniversary of the adoption of its Constitution, a debate erupted between the Modi government and the Opposition over the list of speakers for the joint sitting of Parliament. The event, which will be held in the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan, is set to be addressed by President Droupadi Murmu.

Opposition parties, part of the INDIA bloc, wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, urging that the Leaders of Opposition (LoPs) in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha be allowed to speak during the function. In their letter, they highlighted the importance of ensuring that all political voices are represented at such a significant event in India’s democratic history. They argued that, in line with parliamentary traditions, Opposition leaders should also have the opportunity to address the gathering on the 75th anniversary of the Constitution’s adoption.

However, the government’s response came swiftly. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused some Opposition parties of making statements without knowing the full details of the event. Rijiju clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not be addressing the function, and that the sequence of speakers would include Speaker Om Birla, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, and President Murmu.

In addition to the speeches, the event will also feature the release of a commemorative coin, a stamp, and three books on the Constitution, marking the historic milestone. Despite the government’s assurances, the political disagreement over the speakers’ list added an element of controversy to the Constitution Day celebrations.

On 26 November, as India celebrates Constitution Day, the political tension between the Modi government and the Opposition escalated over the joint parliamentary sitting. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju responded sharply to the Opposition’s demand for inclusion in the event’s speakers list. He clarified that seating arrangements had been made for the Leaders of Opposition (LoPs) from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on the dais, and expressed disappointment over the Opposition’s reaction, stating, “Without knowing anything, this kind of reaction on a very solemn occasion is condemnable.”

Opposition leaders, part of the INDIA bloc, had written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, calling for the LoPs to be given the chance to speak, in line with the traditions of parliamentary democracy. They emphasized that the occasion, marking 75 years since the adoption of India’s Constitution, should be inclusive, with all political voices heard.

Constitution Day, also known as Samvidhan Divas, is celebrated annually on 26 November to honor the adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly in 1949. The Constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950, when India officially became a republic. This year’s celebrations have been marked by both commemorations of India’s democratic foundations and political disputes over representation at the event.

(eds.), Democratization, Oxford University Press, pp. 4, 7, ISBN 978-0-19-873228-0, (p.7) Our diagram … reveals that India’s score in comprehensive democracy is at best half the Western level, which conflicts with the standard democracy measures by Polity and Freedom House where India scores much higher. On the other hand, India’s modest democracy performance in the V-Dem data fully confirms Alexander, Welzel, and Inglehart (2012) who argue that India’s state of democracy is overestimated by standard measures and needs to take account of serious deficiencies in rule of law and human rights enforcement (cf. Inglehart and Welzel 2005; Welzel and Inglehart 2006; Alexander and Welzel 2011).’ The recent considerable drop of the ‘Indic East’ mainly reflects India’s democratic backsliding under the Hindu-nationalist administration of Modi. (p.4 The ‘Indic East’ comprises those nations in South Asia whose history was shaped by Indian culture.)

The focal point in this regard is the rise of populist demagogues and authoritarian strongmen who have caused democratic decline by cracking down on political dissent and curbing the autonomy of the judiciary and the free press, thus creating the conditions for democratic backsliding and decline (Levitsky and Ziblatt, 2018). The path of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in India since 2014 seems to fit this description. The BJP’s hegemonic control of Indian politics has been coterminous with aggressive cultural nationalist rhetoric manifesting itself as routinized intimidation and killing of journalists and political critics, vigilante lynching of Muslims, and a general clampdown on dissent (Kesavan, 2017). Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister and leader of the BJP epitomizes the populist strongman with his charismatic appeal, centralization of power (Vaishnav, 2019), and ability to connect with the masses through clever use of media (Martelli and Jaffrelot, 2017; Vaishnav, 2021). Not surprisingly, scholars and commentators looking at contemporary Indian politics converge on the idea that Modi’s populist leadership of the BJP is the reason for the havoc being wreaked on democratic institutions in the country (Kinnvall, 2019; Chatterji et al., 2019; Basu, 2018; Chacko, 2018; Nilsen, 2018)

They had no attic, no proper roof, just a tin roof,’ she recalled. Modi was a stubborn and forceful child, she said: ‘I remember he would never get beaten by other children, he would beat the others.’ As for helping with his father’s business: ‘He did not work, not regularly, on the tea stall. The mother wanted him to help, but he didn’t.’
141. ^ Roberts, Adam (23 May 2015), Special Report, India: Modi’s many tasks (PDF), London: Economist, The railway station is single-track. Next to it, where the celebrity’s father once ran a tea stall, is a motorbike-repair shop. Over the road is his modest, whitewashed former school. Only in a street nearby, beyond a Sufi shrine, do you find hints of the great man. Neighbours all introduce themselves with the same surname: Modi, Modi, Modi. Most of them recall something of the childhood of Narendra Modi, such as when he brought home a baby crocodile from a lake. They speak with respect more than fondness. He rarely helped his father with the tea stall. Friends from the school recall that he liked theatre and insisted on taking the part of a king. From childhood his passion was politics, and he soon joined the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) movement. A fellow RSS member recounts a playground scrap with Muslim rivals. A neighbour attended his teenage wedding. An unwilling groom, he soon fled town, leaving his wife behind. He rarely goes back.
