One Nation One Election: Prime Minister Narendra Modi The ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal was approved in the cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister on Wednesday. After the approval of the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, RLD chief and Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary has given his first reaction. He has also retaliated to the rhetoric of the opposition parties.
On the opposition’s rhetoric on the ‘One Nation One Election’ proposal, Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary said, “The cabinet has taken a decision. There was a lot of discussion about it. We need to think about it before making any statement. The government is taking excellent decisions to strengthen democracy.”
SP chief’s reaction
On the other hand, Akhilesh Yadav wrote on the social media platform ‘X’, “If ‘One Nation, One Nation’ is in principle, then please clarify whether the elections of all the village, town, municipal bodies from the Pradhan to the Prime Minister will be held together or will it be done as per convenience to make a system of victory or defeat of the government on the pretext of festivals and weather? When the BJP will topple the elected government of any state in between, will the elections of the entire country be held again?”
He wrote, “If President’s rule is imposed in a state, will the elected government have to wait till the next general elections to come back or will there be fresh elections in the entire country? Has any time limit been set for the constitutional amendments that will have to be made to implement this or is this also just a slogan thrown to put it on hold for the future, like women’s reservation?”
He wrote, “Is this a plan to change the results by privatizing the elections? Such apprehensions are arising because tomorrow the government will say that it does not have the human and other necessary resources to conduct elections on such a large scale, so we are giving the work of conducting elections on contract (to our people). The public suggests that BJP should first conduct such elections simultaneously at the district-city, state and national level within its party and then talk about the whole country.”
