One nation, many notions

Times of India  

Times of India’s Edit Page team comprises senior journalists with wide-ranging interests who debate and opine on the news and issues of the day. But implementation will be terribly tricky & impossible sans oppn agreeing As GOI clears Kovind panel’s One Nation One Election proposal, a bill on the same is expected in Parliament this winter session. Yet, when announcing the poll schedule for just 180 assembly constituencies – 90 in Haryana, and 90 in J&K, EC’s explanation to put off Maharashtra’s high-stakes poll was one, troop mobilisation, and two, weather. Five constitutional amendments don’t need states ratification – Articles 83 and 85 on duration and dissolution of Parliament, Articles 172 and 174 on duration and dissolution of state legislatures, and Article 356 on imposition of central rule in states. Even state election commissions may baulk at making ECI the final arbiter of electoral rolls – a centralised all-India electoral roll is seen as diluting India’s federal structure; that it goes against the idea of a ‘Union’ of states.
