Simultaneous poll bills unlikely to be passed in Parliament: Digvijaya

The Hindu  

Congress Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh has said he is doubtful that the 'one nation, one election' bills will be passed in Parliament. Talking to reporters in Madhya Pradesh's Agar Malwa district on Saturday night, Mr. Singh also denied the allegations against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of "pushing and shoving" BJP MPs on Parliament premises on Thursday. To a question on the ONOE bills, Digvijaya Singh said, "The JPC has been constituted and I don't think that it will be passed." The Congress has strongly rejected the claim, alleging that BJP MPs pushed Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and "physically manhandled" Gandhi.
