We don't have the voting record when CAATSA was enacted.
Am sure these same unworthies had pushed for it.
So why now?
We need to look at who supports and helps then raise funds to run for elections.
Here is one such person.

I do not know who appoints/selects people like Ro Khanna and Richard Verma in the hope that India will be impressed by such selection.
I suspect there is an informal Indian American influencer network that gets pulsed to make such appointments.
Also, see many second-rung govt appointments.
Using ro khanna is a convoluted ploy. Obviously, the two faced guy has been either offered some sort of a deal or has been trapped in some shady goings on. It is extremely suspicious when these sort of people, out of the blue, and also, out of character, push such an agenda.
CAATSA is absolutely the wrong button to push against a country like India and like Jaishankar has categorically said that CAATSA is an ameriki problem. The stand that India has taken in recent times has left no one in any doubt as to which way a CAATSA sanction against India would play out and the blowback repercussions on the amerikis cannot be easily gamed by them because of Modi's unpredictability.
The amerikis are virtually isolated on the global stage. They have very few "friends" left who are ready to do their bidding, unlike in the old days. A not so friendly India, calling them out on issues of democracy will upset their imagined chimeric world order. Putin has already all but demolished the so called 'rules-based international system'.
The deep state did not anticipate such an obvious and rapid deterioration of the POTUS's mental faculties. The mylapore maami has also proven herself to being equally vacuous. Her intellect is bettered by a poodle with a very limited repertoire of parlour tricks.
So what's next for the lame guys who rigged an election and brought upon themselves such a horrendous disaster. Look carefully and you will spot the black swan amidst the rubble
India is not their friend and the ameriki deep state including its pet, the rabid and pretentious junkyard dog and handmaiden USCRIF know that well. But it is the deep state that has gone out of its way to mishandle India for tens of decades, as they did for africa and the gulf and today they stand at the edge of a precipice that they have created for themselves.
And the ameriki media reflects that viewpoint. At best, India is a wary fellow traveller who is also quite capable of charting out an independent course for herself, if need be.
We were never an ameriki colony but now it looks like they want us to be one, and a docile and servile one at that
The GOI would not be deflected by fluff like CAATSA was obvious from the beginning and the amerikis were looking for a way out.
CAATSA is primarily about seriously impacting other's democratic choice too and the rights of a nation to choose how she arms herself and how she defends against her enemies. These are matters of supreme national interests
boneheaded ameriki diktats in this vital domain are just not acceptable and anyway, why would India want become a party to countering america's adversaries. In this particular case, america's adversaries are not our adversaries.
Putin has hit back at the amerikis and they don't want Modi doing the same.
Their major mistake was in thinking that India was another version of the paki that the amerikis could, as usual, bull doze their greedy and rapacious way through.
The situation is eerily similar though, the amerikis used the pakis while stirring up the afghans and they are using the same tactics with India and kowtowing to the cheenis.
The pakis backstabbed them but India has her sharp sword still sheathed and the hand on the sword is Modi's and not the old, familiar, pliable and slippery hand of the roman mafia controlled puppet raincoat singh
