On Tuesday, December 17, Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the bill for One Nation, One Election in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing winter session of the Parliament. The bill is now being sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for further consideration.
The bill proposes ‘One Nation One Election’ or simultaneous elections for both Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
The bill, which also seeks to align the elections of the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry and the NCT of Delhi, was cleared by the Cabinet last week.
On Thursday, December 12, the cabinet approved this proposal to synchronise Lok Sabha elections, state assembly elections, and other local bodies elections.
