Vijayvargiya condemns Kamal Nath’s decision  

Vijayvargiya while talking about Kamal Nath’s decision to not implement CAA in Madhya Pradesh, said, “He (Kamal Nath) should read the Constitution of the country. Once a bill is passed by the Parliament and becomes an Act, all the states are bound to implement it under Article 252 of the Constitution.” The relationship between the union government and the state government is determined by Part XI of the Constitution of India, which includes Article 245 to Article 263.

“Owaisi will always do this. If the BJP says that milk is white, he will say no, it is black. The day Owaisi wants to understand the act, he will. He is an intelligent man. But as long as he is not willing to, there is nothing anyone can do. I think sensible people will not oppose the CAA. We are also addressing the concerns of the people to counter the way opposition has tried to disrupt peace in the country in the past few days," he said.
