India: Political Faceoff In Parliament As Modi Govt Tables "One Nation, One Election" Bill In Lok Sabha

In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has introduced the "One Nation, One Election" Bill, aiming to synchronise parliamentary, state assembly, and local body polls. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal tabled the bill, framed as the 129th Constitutional Amendment. However, it was referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committee for further deliberation after Home Minister Amit Shah intervened during the introduction debate. Last week, PM Modi’s Cabinet approved it following recommendations from a panel led by ex-President Ram Nath Kovind. The high-level committee proposed holding elections in two phases: simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls, followed by local body elections within 100 days. Opposition parties, including Congress, TMC, and Samajwadi Party, oppose the bill, claiming it undermines federalism and constitutional principles. Congress MP Manish Tewari called it "against the Constitution’s basic structure."
