Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra claimed that the “one nation one election” (ONO) will weaken democracy by tampering with the tenure of the Legislatures and will violate the rights of the people. Sources said that a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ally surprised whether the interval of five years between two elections will weaken the accountability of the elected representatives towards the people? IAS officer Niten Chandra, secretary of the high -level Kovind Committee, also shared his views with the committee. Awasthi explained in detail the benefits of saving and promoting development from holding the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections simultaneously.

The agenda of the Parliamentary Committee for the meeting of twenty -five February has been listed as “interaction with legal experts”. The Modi government headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind formed a high -level committee on ‘one nation one election’ and in its report strongly supported the concept. Subsequently, the Union Cabinet accepted the committee’s recommendations and the government introduced two bills in the Lok Sabha, one of which was also the Constitution Amendment Bill. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla constituted a 39 -member joint parliamentary committee under the chairmanship of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and former Law Minister PP Chaudhary. The Parliamentary Committee has held two meetings so far except on Tuesday’s meeting, which has prepared a comprehensive details of its agenda and has a list of stakeholders and experts for consultation.
