'One nation, one election' impractical in democracy, says Kharge; Vaishnaw fires back
Hindustan TimesUnion minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday responded to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's criticism of the ‘one nation, one election’ initiative, in which Kharge called the proposal “impractical” and incompatible with democracy. Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw responded to Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks over 'one nation, one election' Kharge, quoted by ANI, expressed strong opposition to the proposal, saying, “We don’t stand with this. Elections need be held as and when required if we want our democracy to survive.” In response, Vaishnaw said, “The opposition might start feeling internal pressure as more than 80% of respondents who participated in the consultation process have expressed positive support, particularly the youth, who are very much in favour of this.” The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the ‘one nation, one election’ proposal based on recommendations from a panel chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind. Suppose 'One Nation, One Election' is implemented from January 2025, elections would be held simultaneously for the Legislative Assemblies and Lok Sabha across the country.
