Union Cabinet approves 'One Nation, One Election' Bill; Congress reiterates its opposition to the idea

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved two bills, including one to amend the Constitution to implement "one nation, one election", and the draft legislations are likely to be introduced in Parliament in the ongoing winter session, sources said. Kharge, in a letter to the secretary of the high-level committee on 'one nation, one election' on January 17, 2024, had said, "The Indian National Congress is strongly opposed to the very idea of 'One Nation, One Election'." On the other hand, Union minister and BJP ally Chirag Paswan came out strongly in support of "one nation, one election", saying it is in national interest as simultaneous polls will boost development. Moving ahead with its "one nation, one election" plan, the government in September accepted the recommendations of the high-level committee for holding simultaneous polls for the Lok Sabha, state assemblies and local bodies in a phased manner.
