INDIA Bloc questions One Nation, One Election', Calls it impractical & unrealistic

19 September,2024 01:20 PM IST

Opposition parties have strongly criticized the Union government`s `One Nation, One Election` proposal, deeming it "impractical and unrealistic." The Cabinet recently approved this initiative, which aims to synchronize Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, while also planning to conduct urban body and panchayat polls within 100 days. Critics argue that such a sweeping electoral reform could undermine the democratic process, disrupt local governance, and diminish voter engagement in regional issues. They contend that elections are vital to reflecting the diverse needs and aspirations of different states and localities. The proposal, based on a report from a high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has sparked significant debate, with opponents asserting that it prioritizes political convenience over the interests of the nation. As the government pushes forward, the opposition remains steadfast in its opposition, calling for a more nuanced approach to electoral reforms that respects the federal structure of the country.
