New Delhi [India], December 13 (ANI): Shiv Sena MP, Naresh Mhaske stated on Friday that the Opposition can’t speak in favour of the decisions of the government a day after the Union Cabinet approved the ‘One Nation One Election’ bill.
“Opposition are doing their work of opposing and we are doing ours. We will try to bring this bill in this session,” the Shiv Sena MP told ANI in response to a query.
“They (Opposition) can’t speak in favour of the decisions of the government,” he said.
Earlier today, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut slammed the “One Nation, One Election” bill, calling it the biggest threat to democracy.
Addressing a press conference, Raut said, “No proper amendment or research has been done about it. Modi ji always speaks his Mann ki Baat. He never thinks about what is in the mind of the public or what is in the mind of the people in opposition. I doubt whether Modi ji will remain the Prime Minister till 2029. This is the biggest threat to democracy.”
The ‘One Nation One Election’ bill was approved by the Union Cabinet on Thursday paving the way for its introduction in Parliament. However, before its introduction in the Parliament, the bill initiated debate between the ruling and opposition parties.
Several parties of the INDIA bloc opposed the bill while the BJP-led NDA alliance parties welcomed this bill, saying, it would save time and lay the groundwork for unified elections across the country.
In September this year, the Union Cabinet approved the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, which aims to hold simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, along with urban body and panchayat polls, within a span of 100 days.
The recommendations were outlined in a report by a high-level panel chaired by former President Kovind. (ANI)
