Key Points
New Delhi: The Narendra Modi-led NDA government set the ball rolling on implementation of One Nation, One Election with the Union Cabinet Wednesday accepting the recommendations of the high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind which advocated for simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha, state assemblies and civic bodies...
Sources added that the Cabinet has tasked three ministers, namely Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to talk to opposition parties on the One Nation, One Election proposal...
By accepting the Kovind-led panels recommendations, the Modi government appears to have made clear its intention to fulfil one of the key promises made in its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections...
Constitutional experts say even if one were to include non-NDA parties like the YSRCP (with its 4 Lok Sabha MPs) or the BJD or AIADMK, which have favoured the idea of simultaneous polls in their response to the Kovind-led panel, it is still unlikely to touch the 362-mark...
To facilitate simultaneous polls, the Kovind-led panel in its report recommended curtailment of tenure of state assemblies to make it coterminous with the Lok Sabha to facilitate simultaneous elections..
