Congress' "Two-Thirds Majority" Jab At BJP Over 'One Nation, One Poll' | Read
The Lok Sabha on Tuesday held a division vote to introduce two bills to amend the Constitution and permit simultaneous federal and state polls, as part of the ruling BJP's 'one nation, one election' push.
The bills were passed by simple majority, as required by the rulebook; 269 MPs voted in favour and 198 opposed it. However, the margin was flagged by critics of the 'one nation, one election' bill, who claimed it shows the government lacks support, even at this stage, to pass the bills.
