New Delhi : Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister on Tuesday (December 15) proposed to review the 'One Nation, One Election' bill by the Joint Parliamentary Committee. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal tabled the One Nation One Election Bill in the Lok Sabha today (Tuesday) (December 3).

Meghwal introduced the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, in the Lok Sabha, paving the way for the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal. The bill aims to hold simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies across the country. The bill has been tabled in the Lok Sabha amid a lot of ruckus and chaos from the Opposition.



While tabling the bill in the lower house, Arjun Meghwal said, "I will talk on legislative competency; autonomy issue was also raised. No constitutional principle is being violated with the introduction of this bill, we are not amending any article. ONOP is pending since last 41 years and it was PM Modi who took cognizance of it.

He has far-sightedness and capability to bring change." Additionally, the law minister is likely to introduce Bills to amend the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991, and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, as per the day's schedule.
