He also dismissed opposition protests over the bill saying that Congress opposes every good initiative, that's their only agenda.
Speaking to mediapersons, the Haryana Chief Minister said, "Continuous elections cost a lot and slow down development and progress. One Nation One Election will create a balance between speed of work and finances. This bill should be passed. Congress opposes every good initiative, that's their only agenda."
Earlier today, the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024 and The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 was formally introduced in Lok Sabha after members voted on it.

On Tuesday, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha announced the result of the vote on the introduction of the bill in the House.
The vote showed 269 members in favour (Ayes) and 196 against (Noes).
