One Nation, One Election Cleared By Cabinet, Congress Says "Not Practical" | Read
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 100 days - accepting the report of a panel led by ex-President Ram Nath Kovind.
Holding simultaneous poll will "transform the electoral process (and) governance" and "optimise scarce resources", the high-profile panel said, noting 32 parties and prominent judicial figures, including former Supreme Court Chief Justices and High Court judges, had backed this measure.
