The central government was supposed to introduce the much-anticipated “One Nation – One Election” bill in Parliament tomorrow (December 16). However, the bill was surprisingly withdrawn from the business agenda for that day.

The “One Nation – One Election” bill requires a constitutional amendment and a two-thirds majority in Parliament to be passed. On the other hand, the second bill only requires a simple majority for approval.
It was announced that the Jamili Elections bill would be introduced in Parliament by Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal tomorrow. A circular regarding the same was also published by the Union government.

The “One Nation – One Election” bill was proposed by the BJP to implement the policy of holding all state assembly and Lok Sabha elections simultaneously across the country. While NDA parties supported this decision, the INDI Alliance parties strongly opposed it, claiming it would lead to dictatorship in India.
Meanwhile, people are surprised by this move by the Modi government and are curious to know the reason behind the sudden removal of the bill from the agenda. They are wondering if the Modi government took a U-Turn on this decision. Hopefully, all doubts will be cleared soon.
