With the Union Home Ministry stating that it has no intention to bring the proposed bill on Chandigarh in Parliament's Winter Session, the Congress on Sunday (November 23, 2025) took a swipe at the Modi government, claiming it is yet another example of its "first announce, second think" approach to governance.
Proposal on Chandigarh doesn’t alter administrative structure, no final decision yet: MHA
Congress general secretary in-charge (Communications) Jairam Ramesh said that just yesterday, the Parliament Bulletin for the forthcoming Winter Session had listed for introduction a Constitution Amendment Bill to enable the appointment of a full-time LG for Chandigarh.
This was immediately and aggressively opposed by the Congress and other parties in Punjab whose Governor is also the Administrator of Chandigarh, Mr. Ramesh said on X.
The Union Home Ministry now says that it has no intention to introduce the Bill in the Winter Session, he said.
