Oppn says Bills target basic structure of Constitution, federal structure
Mid an Opposition uproar, the Union government on Tuesday introduced two Bills related to "One Nation, One Election" in the Lok Sabha after a division of votes and they were sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for detailed discussions.
The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 and The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 were introduced by Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal in the Lok Sabha after members voted on it.
The first Bill aims to amend the Constitution to provide for simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies and the second seeks to align the elections for Assemblies in Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, and Puducherry.
