Govt looks to table bill on one nation, one poll

The proposal to align elections was a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's 2024 poll manifesto and has the backing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi but is fiercely opposed by a raft of political parties and activists who allege that it will hurt democratic accountability.

The bill that is likely to be sent for scrutiny by a parliamentary committee has not been circulated among members so far, but there is speculation that it could be introduced in the winter session that winds up on December 20, said the people cited above.
