Budget session the only window to ensure implementation of CAA ahead of 2024 polls
The Budget session is considered the only window for ensuring the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) ahead of the 2024 polls due to several reasons:
- Budget sessions are one of the most important sessions of the Parliament where the government presents its annual budget. As the CAA requires financial allocations for its implementation, the budget session provides an opportunity to allocate funds and resources.
- The budget session allows for intense discussions and debates on various legislative matters. As the CAA is a controversial and debated issue, this session provides a platform for lawmakers to discuss and deliberate on its implementation.
- The budget session is typically longer in duration compared to other sessions, providing sufficient time for legislative procedures and any necessary amendments to be made.
- Timing-wise, passing and implementing the CAA ahead of the 2024 polls would allow the government to highlight its achievements and fulfill its election promises to its voter base in relation to citizenship and immigration-related matters.
