One Nation One Election: Constitutional amendment for 'one nation-one election' will be difficult for the government, opposition parties are continuously protesting.

In the current situation, it will be difficult for the BJP-led NDA government to pass the amendments that will be required in the Constitution to turn the concept of one nation-one election into reality.

To implement the recommendations of the high-level committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind on one nation-one election, the government may have to make 18 amendments to the Constitution. The NDA has the support of 293 members in the 543-member Lok Sabha and 119 members in the Rajya Sabha.

The problem will arise here.

To pass the constitutional amendment, the proposal should have the support of a simple majority in the Lok Sabha as well as two-thirds of the members present and voting in the House. If all 543 members of the Lok Sabha are present on the day of voting on the proposal for constitutional amendment, then it will need the support of 362 members.

The opposition INDIAA has 234 members in the Lok Sabha. The NDA has 113 members in the Rajya Sabha and can add six nominated members to it. Whereas the INDIAA has 85 members in the Upper House. If all the members of the House are present on the day of voting, then two-thirds will be 164.

Congress, AAP, BSP, and CPI (M) opposed.

Some constitutional amendments will also need the approval of the state assemblies. Out of the six national parties, only BJP and National People's Party are in favor of simultaneous elections, while Congress, AAP, BSP, and CPI (M) have opposed it. The number of parties that supported simultaneous elections before the Kovind Committee in the Lok Sabha is 271. Whereas the number of 15 parties that opposed it in the Lok Sabha is 205.
