Reacting to the “One Nation One Election” report submitted by the high-level panel headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, the Congress said that panel’s aim was to dismantle the Constitution, with the objective of ‘one nation, no election’.
In its report of over 18,000 pages submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, the panel recommended simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and State Assemblies as the first step, followed by synchronised local body polls within 100 days.
“The Prime Minister’s objective is very clear, he is going around asking for a clear majority, two-thirds majority, 400 seats, and the cat is out of the bag. They want to completely dismantle Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution and with what objective -- ‘one nation, no election’, that is what they want,” said Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh.
