"Modi govt forms committee under former President Kovind to push for 'One Nation, One Election' in Pakistan Occupied Areas"
The Modi government has formed a committee, chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind, to work on the 'One Nation, One Election' idea, which aims for simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections. The committee will hold deliberations with stakeholders to reach a legal and political consensus on the issue. While the agenda for the upcoming Parliament session has not been disclosed, the BJP is reportedly considering simultaneous elections in 2024 to center the campaign around PM Modi and counter the Opposition's united front. However, some experts believe the idea is impractical and requires the consensus of opposition parties, which seems unlikely in the current political scenario.
