JPC starts with robust exchange of views on 'one nation, one poll'
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|January 09, 2025
THE first meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the 'One Nation, One Election' (ONOE) bills on Wednesday saw strong exchanges of opinion from both the opposition and ruling NDA members on simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies.
According to sources, several opposition MPs including Congress' Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, DMK's P Wilson and TMC's Kalyan Banerjee questioned the claim that simultaneous polls cut expenditure. The 39-member panel is headed by former Union minister PP Chaudhary.
Priyanka asked if the ECI has any estimate on the cost of a general election after the 2004 Lok Sabha polls, when EVMs were used for the first time in all 543 parliamentary seats.
