The opposition party's assertion came after reports said the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government would implement 'one nation, one election' during its current tenure.

The Congress asserted that there was no draft proposal of 'one nation, one election' and the government had made no attempt to speak on it.

The BJP-led NDA government will implement 'one nation, one election' within its current tenure, sources said on Sunday, exuding confidence that the reform measure would receive support across party lines.
