Discussion of first meeting, in points …
- After the presentation of the Law Ministry, many opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi, had questioned the claim of low expenditure from holding elections simultaneously.
- The opposition had asked if there was any estimate of the expenditure after the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, when EVM was used for the first time in all 543 seats and it is believed that the expenditure was reduced.
- The opposition said that in order to hold elections together, the assembly of several states violates constitutional values by dissolving their tenure before the completion of their term and their tenure with the Lok Sabha.
- BJP’s Sanjay Jaiswal said that in 1957, 7 assemblies were dissolved ahead of time to hold the Lok Sabha-Legislative Assembly elections simultaneously. Then, the then President Rajendra Prasad, who was also the President of the Constituent Assembly, violated the Constitution by Nehru and other MPs.
- BJP’s ally JDU questioned whether after mid -term elections, there will be a focus for governance in the government selected for a small tenure that occurs in governments with a five -year tenure.
Voting was done to introduce bills in Parliament
Law Minister Arjunram Meghwal had on December 17 in the Lok Sabha for the Constitution Amendment Bill for one country-each election. It was opposed by opposition MPs. After this, electronic voting was done to introduce the bill.
Following the objection of some MPs, the slip was re -voted to revise the vote. In this voting, 269 votes were cast in favor of presenting the bill and 198 votes in the opposition. After this, the Law Minister again put the bill in the House.
Congress bid- Government could not gather 272 MPs while presenting the bill
On December 20, the Congress said about one country one election bill that how will the BJP pass this bill? Because it does not have a two -thirds majority (362 MPs) in the House for the constitution amendment. The bill may be sent to JPC, but the Congress opposed it.
In fact, on 20 December, the proposal to nominate 12 members associated with this bill in the Rajya Sabha was passed by soundly. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar had asked Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal to submit a proposal to nominate the members of Rajya Sabha to the committee.
After this, a resolution was passed to the Joint Committee of Parliament to recommend both the Bills. It was then decided to send the bill to the 39 -member JPC.
What is one country-one election…
There are elections for Lok Sabha and state assemblies at different times in India. One country-one election means holding elections of Lok Sabha and state assemblies simultaneously. That is, voters will vote on the same day, at the same time to choose members of Lok Sabha and State Assembly.
The Lok Sabha and Assembly elections were held simultaneously in 1952, 1957, 1962 and 1967 after independence, but in 1968 and 1969 several assemblies were dissolved prematurely. The Lok Sabha was also dissolved in December 1970. Because of this, the tradition of one country-one election was broken.
A committee formed for one country-one election submitted a report to the President in March
A committee was formed on September 2, 2023 under the chairmanship of former President Ram Nath Kovind to consider one country. The committee submitted its report to President Draupadi Murmu on March 14, 2024 after discussing with stakeholders and experts in about 191 days.
To implement one country-one election, arrangements will be made to add 1 new article to the Constitution and amend 3 Articles in the Constitution.
What will change with the constitution amendment, 3 points …
- Article 82 (A) will be added through the constitution amendment, so that elections of Lok Sabha and State Assembly can be held simultaneously. At the same time, Article 83 (tenure of the Houses of Parliament), Article 172 (tenure of state assemblies) and Article 327 (power of Parliament in making laws related to the election of assemblies) will be amended.
- A provision will be made through the bill that the President will release the notification on the date of the first meeting of the Lok Sabha after the general election. The date of issuing notification will be called an appointed date. The tenure of the Lok Sabha will be 5 years from the appointed date. Elections will be conducted for the remaining tenure only if the Lok Sabha or any state is dissolved in the assembly time.
- The objectives and reasons of the bill states that it is based on the recommendations of the High-Level Committee on one country-one election under the chairmanship of former President Ram Nath Kovind. The Kovind Committee had also recommended the country and the states to conduct local bodies along with elections. However, no decision was taken in the meeting of the Union Cabinet on 12 December.
