Proposal of One Nation One Election approved by Cabinet

 


The proposal for 'One Nation, One Election' has received approval from the Cabinet, and the government is aiming to garner widespread agreement before presenting the bill in the House. Sources within the government have indicated that efforts are being made to establish a consensus on the matter. 

The government is not under any urgency to introduce ONOP as a bill during the upcoming winter session, according to sources. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Cabinet has approved a proposal for "one nation, one election", a significant step towards conducting Lok Sabha and state elections simultaneously. 

This move is expected to lower costs and simplify the voting process in the world's largest democracy. Despite speculation about the bill being presented in the winter session of Parliament, government sources emphasize the importance of consensus-building before proceeding with the legislation. 

The government is not feeling compelled to introduce the "one nation, one poll" (ONOP) as legislation during the upcoming winter session, according to sources. This comes following the submission of a report by a high-level panel led by former president Ram Nath Kovind to the Union Cabinet. Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Kiren Rijiju have been tasked with engaging in discussions with opposition parties regarding ONOP. Following the decision by the Cabinet, Prime Minister Modi remarked that it represents a significant advancement in enhancing the vibrancy and inclusivity of our democracy. 

The Cabinet has endorsed the suggestions put forth by the High-Level Committee on Simultaneous Elections. I commend our ex-President, Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji, for leading this initiative and seeking input from a diverse group of individuals. The Prime Minister stated in a post on X that this is a significant advancement in enhancing the vitality and engagement of our democracy.
