Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has criticized the Central government’s decision to form a committee to study the “one nation, one election” proposal. Raut suggests that this move is aimed at delaying the demand of the Opposition for fair elections. Here’s a breakdown of his statements:
Demand for Fair Elections: Raut emphasizes the importance of fair elections and states that this is the demand of the Opposition. He believes that while “one nation, one election” might be a worthy concept, it should not compromise the fairness and integrity of elections.
Accusation of Conspiracy: Raut goes further to suggest that the Central government’s decision to form a committee is a conspiracy. He believes it is designed to advance the timing of elections for some ulterior motive.
Cynicism Towards Committee Formation: Raut expresses skepticism about the formation of the committee, particularly the choice of former President Ram Nath Kovind as its head. He questions why Kovind, who held the position of President, is being entrusted with this responsibility after retirement.
Emphasis on Inclusive Discussion: Anil Desai, another leader from Shiv Sena, supports the idea of “one nation, one election” but stresses the importance of presenting the concept to all political parties for discussion and deliberation. He believes that this should be a collective decision taken after thorough consideration and input from various political parties.
