One Nation One Election Proposal Failed To Gain Support: Congress

Lok Sabha held a division vote to introduce two bills to amend Constitution and permit one nation one election. The bills passed by simple majority as required by rulebook; 269 MPs voted in favor and 198 opposed it. “Two-thirds majority (ie, 307) was needed out of 461 votes. But government secured only 269. The proposal failed to gain the support,” Congress MP Manickam Tagore wrote on X.
