|May 20, 2025
THE Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve on Monday, on behalf of opposition parties, said that the proposed legislation on One Nation One Election (ONOE) poses serious implications for the constitutional framework work, federalism, local self-governance and electoral integrity in India.

He further argued that synchronising national and state elections could dilute the visibility of state-level issues and weaken regional governance priorities. Further, the ONOE proposal could indirectly affect the autonomy of local bodies such as Panchayats and Municipal Corporations, by reducing electoral decentralisation and marginalising grassroots-level democratic engagement.
