The Modi government's decision to convene a special parliamentary session from the 18th to the 22nd of this month adds to the rumours that the Center is preparing to bring forward the general elections scheduled for April-May next year. One nation, one election is the idea of ​​Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Political centres believe that a special parliamentary session is being convened to make a law to make it possible. It has only been a few days since the last meeting. Under normal circumstances, there is a lot of time left for the winter session. There are many in the opposition who see the hasty convening of the conference as the first step towards making the idea of ​​one nation, one election possible. They have already come up with criticisms against this move.

The Center has also appointed a committee to study the feasibility of the One Nation, one-election concept. Former President Ram Nath Kovind has been appointed as the chairman of the committee. This is also an unusual procedure. After the retirement of the Presidents, they are not usually entrusted with any official duties and they usually lead a leisurely life. There are many people not only among the politicians but also in the general public who see the lack of propriety in the appointment of the former President as the chairman of the committee studying the single election issue contrary to the usual practice. In any case, in a special session of Parliament, the law-making related to the One nation, one election idea may take place, putting an end to rumours. Simultaneous elections to as many legislatures as possible, as well as to the Lok Sabha, are not objectionable. This measure will help reduce election expenses and ease the bureaucratic effort associated with elections. It will also be beneficial for political parties. Assembly elections have been held along with general elections in the country in the past. By-elections are usually called for when the life of a legislature ends prematurely due to various reasons.

Assembly elections are due in five states, including Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan by the end of this year and early next year in seven states. The Center is looking at the possibility of holding these assembly elections along with the general elections. It is also being checked whether the legislative assemblies that do not have much time to expire can also be added to this. We will have to wait until the agenda of the proposed special session comes out to know what the Centre's plans are. NDA front is hoping that the reduction in cooking gas prices, the much-hyped G-20 summit, the inauguration of the new Parliament building and the long-awaited inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya will translate into large numbers of votes. On the other side, the 'INDIA' front is adamant about toppling the Modi government at any cost. Whether the elections are held early or not, it is going to be the most vehement political battle the country has ever seen.
