New Delhi: Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal is set to introduce The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, in the Lok Sabha on Monday. This amendment bill aims to align the dates for national and state elections, with the goal of holding simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies. The bill has sparked significant debate, particularly from Opposition leaders who argue that it could undermine federalism and prove difficult to implement.
What is the ‘One Nation, One Election’ bill?
The proposed ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative is designed to have voters across India cast their ballots for both national and state elections within the same year, though not necessarily on the same day.
