India News: Trinamool Congress leaders opposed the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal, claiming it is a hidden agenda to establish a Presidential dictatorship. T
The ONOE initiative aims to synchronize the election schedules for the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, thereby holding elections for both entities within a specified timeframe.
The One Nation, One Election panel, chaired by the former President of India Ramnath Kovind, had written to the poll panel on the issue of simultaneous polls. There were two key questions for the poll panel from the Kovind-led committee. One: The "logistics and manpower required, including EVM, VVPATs, for holding such simultaneous elections". Second: Modalities for use of "a single electoral roll and electoral identity cards for identification of voters for elections to the House of People, state legislative assemblies and municipalities and panchayats".
