However, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said that implementation of ‘One Nation, One Election, needs constitution amendment and the government lacks number. But if the government has plans to implements, they would manage numbers before introducing it in Parliament. They have NDA’s majority in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha and the bill does not have a Hindu-Muslim narrative so many other may not hesitate to support it.

The Congress may not support the Bill but the BJP may reach out to others to seek support. The BJP wants to make it a presidential kind of election in India in which it may have edge over others. However, this may make certain regional political parties irrelevant. But there are many benefits that would be for everyone and saving resources is the biggest one.
