'Attack on federalism': Oppn slams cabinet move on One Nation One Poll
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|December 13, 2024
AS the Union Cabinet approved two bills to implement 'One Nation, One Election' as recommended by a high-level committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, several Opposition leaders including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed the proposed legislation, terming it an attack on "democracy and federalism".
Urging the people to resist the attack on democracy, Stalin wrote on X, "The Union Cabinet has approved introducing the draconian 'One Nation, One Election Bill' in Parliament. This impractical and anti-democratic move will erase regional voices, erode federalism, and disrupt governance. Let us resist this attack on Indian Democracy with all strength".
