AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has strongly opposed the “one nation, one election” proposal cleared by the Union Cabinet, calling it a threat to federalism and democracy. Owaisi expressed his concerns, stating that “multiple elections are not a problem for anyone except Modi and Shah.” He believes that frequent and periodic elections improve democratic accountability.
Owaisi warned that the proposal would be a disaster for multiparty parliamentary democracy and federalism. He termed the concept of “one nation, one election” as unconstitutional. The AIMIM chief has consistently opposed the idea, saying it’s a solution in search of a problem.
