One Nation, One Election ✅ Approved by Modi Cabinet

Big Step Towards Simultaneous Polls, Cabinet Clears '1 Nation, 1 Election'

The Union Cabinet has approved the government's 'one nation, one election' push - which proposes simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, with urban body and panchayat polls to be held within the next 100 days - accepting the report of a panel led by ex-President Ram Nath Kovind.

"There is unanimous opinion simultaneous polls should be held," the panel, which included Home Minister Amit Shah, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, as its members, had said. The panel also outlined provisions for a 'unity government' in cases of an indefinite result or a no-confidence motion; it had been tasked with recommending such solutions.

The 'one nation, one election' proposal was part of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's manifesto for the 2019 and 2024 general elections, but has drawn heavy criticism from the opposition, who have red-flagged concerns over changes to the Constitution and practical challenges.

the proposal would be implemented in this, the third, term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM tweeted shortly after the proposal was cleared, calling it "an important step to making our democracy even more vibrant and participative".

However, making this a reality will require two-third of Parliament to side with the BJP, since the proposed system involves amending the Constitution at least six times.
