Opposing the “One Nation, One Election” report submitted by the high-level panel headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, the Karnataka State Dalit Sangharsha Samiti alleged that the Modi-led BJP government was trying to dismantle the Constitution, with the objective of ‘One Nation, One Election’,
State convener of the samiti D.G. Sagar, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi, stated that there was no place for the concept of simultaneous elections in a country that has adopted a Parliamentary system of governance. Such an idea would go against the guarantees of federalism contained in the Constitution, Mr. Sagar added.
He alleged that the Modi-led government at Centre was systematically attacking the democratic system, using agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate and Crime Bureau of Investigation.
