Kerala Assembly unanimously passes resolution against ‘one nation, one election’ proposal
Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday opposing the Centre’s 'one nation, one election' proposal.
The ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) unanimously passed a resolution in the Kerala Assembly, demanding the Union Government to urgently withdraw its ‘one nation, one election’ plan describing it as undemocratic and at odds with Constitutional values and the country’s federal structure, as reported by The Hindu.
The resolution was tabled by Kerala Minister for Local Self-Government and Parliamentary Affairs M.B. Rajesh.
According to the resolution, the proposal to hold simultaneous elections in India would serve only to weaken the powers and rights of the state legislatures and pave the way for out-and-out centralisation of power instead of enabling democratic decentralisation. It illustrates the RSS-BJP agenda for imposing a centralised, unitary administrative system in the country, the resolution added, as per the publication.
The recommendation to hold all elections simultaneously contradicts the spirit of the Constitution and undermines constitutional values. It is fundamentally undemocratic and detrimental to the parliamentary democratic system envisioned in the Constitution of India, the resolution stated.
The resolution mentioned that when there are simpler methods to reduce election expenditure and streamline governance, adopting the simultaneous election theory is detrimental to the federal structure and the rights of the states, as well as undermining the mandate of the people.
