<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The simultaneous elections idea is a non-starter<\/strong> (a plan or idea that has no chance of success<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Union government introducing two Bills in the Lok Sabha to implement its idea of simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies, the stage is set for Parliament to debate the feasibility<\/strong> (the state of being possible or practical<\/strong>), or otherwise, of the idea of what the government calls \u201cOne Nation, One Election\u201d. With the Opposition pressing on a division of votes on the introduction of the Bill \u2014 263 for and 198 against \u2014 the writing on the wall<\/strong> (an indication that something bad is going to happen<\/strong>) was clear. The government does not have the two-thirds majority in Parliament to pass the constitutional amendments to facilitate simultaneous elections. A 39-member House panel will examine the two Bills. The content in the Bills themselves are in line with the recommendations of a committee headed by former President of India Ram Nath Kovind that envisaged<\/strong> (to envision or predict something<\/strong>) simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections as a first step, followed by municipal and panchayat polls within 100 days of the general election. For the amendments to conduct municipal elections, they would have to be ratified<\/strong> (approved formally<\/strong>) by at least half of the State Assemblies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Constitution Amendment Bill seeks to add a new provision that will provide for the timeline for simultaneous elections and as per the wording in the Bill, this could happen only in 2034 unless the Lok Sabha terms prior to that are curtailed (shortened<\/strong>) for some reason. Other provisions echo the Kovind committee recommendations \u2014 for example, if a State Assembly gets dissolved before five years of its term, after the \u201cappointed date\u201d \u2014 the date for synchronising Lok Sabha and Assembly elections \u2014 fresh \u201cmidterm<\/strong>\u201d (occurring in the middle of a term<\/strong>) elections will be held but the new Assembly will not have a full five-year tenure. Its tenure will end five years from the \u201cappointed date\u201d. The Bill also provides the Election Commission the option to defer<\/strong> (postpone<\/strong>) or not hold Assembly elections to a particular State, but the full term of that Assembly will still coincide with that of the Lok Sabha elections. These provisions are anti-federal<\/strong> (against the principles of federalism, which involves the distribution of power between central and regional governments<\/strong>). The idea of conducting multiple elections to an Assembly before the stipulated five-year period also militates<\/strong> (to oppose strongly<\/strong>) against the ostensible<\/strong> (apparent, but not necessarily true<\/strong>) rationale provided for the idea of introducing simultaneous elections \u2014 cost-cutting. The idea of federalism, sharing power at different levels of governance, is tied to the exclusive importance and roles demarcated (set apart or defined clearly<\/strong>) to them and elections are a way for voters to exercise their specific concerns related to these different levels of government. By subsuming (to absorb or include something within a larger group<\/strong>) the electoral cycles into one time frame, the idea of simultaneous elections has the potential to diminish the importance of each tier, which is also in line with the centralising tendencies of the BJP\/NDA regime. This makes it imperative (absolutely necessary<\/strong>) for those committed to federalism to steadfastly (firmly and loyally<\/strong>) oppose this idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upskill yourself and enhance your vocabulary knowledge.
