One nation, one election bills presented in Lok Sabha, 269 MPs support

The presentation of the bills triggered strong criticisms from MPs representing the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Trinamool Congress. 

On Tuesday, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal presented the constitutional amendment bills aimed at conducting Lok Sabha and assembly elections concurrently within the Lok Sabha. 


Following an initial discussion, the Opposition requested a division of votes as the law minister proposed the introduction of the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, along with the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in the Lok Sabha. A total of 269 members voted in support, while 198 opposed it.


One nation, one election bill


According to a copy of the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, which was distributed on the evening of December 13, if the Lok Sabha or any regional assembly is disbanded prior to the conclusion of its full term, mid-term elections will be conducted solely for that legislative body to fulfill the remainder of its five-year duration.


The bill proposes the addition of Article 82(A) (concurrent elections for the House of the People and all Legislative Assemblies) and seeks to amend Articles 83 (term length of Houses of Parliament), 172, and 327 (authority of Parliament to establish provisions regarding elections to Legislatures).


The document specifies that the provisions contained in the amendment will come into force on an "appointed date," which will be announced by the President during the first sitting of the Lok Sabha following a general election.

' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
