One Nation One Election Proposal

The Union Cabinet has cleared the 'one nation, one election' proposal that will eventually see simultaneous voting for state and union governments, as well as urban bodies or panchayats.

The Centre has to provide clarity on how it plans to implement 'one nation on election' and only after that the BRS party will be able to express its stance on the proposal, seniors party leader KT Rama Rao said on Wednesday.

The Cabinet clearing the Ramnath Kovind committee report for simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha, Assemblies and local bodies at the same time - known as One Nation, One Election - has sparked a debate on how effective the proposal would be.

The Cabinet has approved 'one nation, one election' push - which proposes simultaneous Lok Sabha and state polls, with urban body and panchayat polls to be held within 100 days - accepting the report of a panel led by ex-President Ram Nath Kovind.

A high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind has submitted its report on the government's 'One Nation, One Election' push - which proposes holding Lok Sabha and Assembly polls simultaneously.

Law Commission is likely to recommend adding a new chapter to the Constitution on 'one nation, one election' and holding the gigantic democratic exercise of simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha, state assemblies and local bodies across India by 2029.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday said there can be agreement or disagreement on the 'one nation one election' proposal but it should be discussed in the country.

Prashant Kishor has offered conditional support to the "one nation, one election" proposal, acknowledging it to be "in the interest of the country... if done with correct intentions".

Weeks before "One Nation, One Election" got a fresh thrust with the government asking a panel to examine the proposal, Union Law Minister Arjun Meghwal had listed the big hurdles and imperatives for syncing elections nationwide.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday criticised the BJP-led Centre's proposal for 'one nation, one election', saying there is no practical way in which such a system can be implemented.

Holding simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and all assemblies would need any no-confidence motion to be coupled with a 'confidence motion' by a leader proposed as next prime minister or chief minister.

The concept of "One Nation, One Election" is not new. In fact, as experts point out, it is as old as our Constitution.

Taking a big step forward on the 'one nation, one election' proposal, the Centre has set up a committee to study the issue and submit a report.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday opposed the Centre's 'One Nation, One Election' proposal, alleging that it is a ploy of the ruling BJP to "legalise sale and purchase" of elected representatives under its "Operation Lotus".
