The “One Nation, One Election” Bill formally introduced Today (Dec 17) in the Lok Sabha following a division vote. The results of the vote showcased significant interest and division among lawmakers, with 269 Members of Parliament (MPs) voting in favor and 198 MPs voting against the motion. Union Law Minister Arjun Meghwal took charge of presenting the Bill, marking an essential milestone in the country’s political reforms.
A proposal to hold simultaneous federal and state elections – the contentious ‘one nation, one election’ proposal – is a long-pending piece of electoral reform and will not damage or tamper with the Constitution, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal told the Lok Sabha Today (Dec 17).
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi Today (April 6th) challenged the interpretation of draw of lots rules in the high court after losing the Rajya Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh. Singhvi questioned the decision to declare the person selected in the draw as the loser, emphasizing the lack of legal basis. He highlighted the potential need for correction if his arguments hold merit.
