Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday lent his voice to the growing chorus of protests against the Central government’s ‘One Nation, One Election’ move.
Earlier, his Tamil Nadu counterpart M.K. Stalin condemned what both leaders perceived as a Sangh Parivar plot to recast the country’s multi-tiered, optimally spaced, and resilient election processes into a once-in-five-years referendum on any one national leader or agenda.
Mr. Vijayan said on X social media platform: “The moves for imposing One Nation, One Election reflect the Sangh Parivar’s hideous agenda of sabotaging our Constitutional values and democratic traditions to consolidate power. We must unite to oppose this vicious scheme and safeguard our republic’s foundational principles.”
