Chennai, Sep 19 (PTI) DMK President and Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday dubbed the Centre’s simultaneous elections proposal impractical, unfeasible, and a ‘diversionary’ tactic, which the BJP-led regime would never be able to implement.
In a post on X, Stalin said: “#OneNationOneElection is an impractical proposition that ignores the complexities of India’s diverse electoral system and undermines federalism. It is logistically unfeasible, given the vast differences in election cycles, regional issues, and governance priorities.
It will require an unrealistic alignment of all terms of office, disrupting the natural course of governance.
This entire proposal is simply a move to satisfy the BJP’s ego, but they will never be able to implement it. India’s democracy cannot be bent to suit the greed of one party. Union government should address pressing issues like unemployment, price rise and equitable distribution of resources to States instead of wasting energy on these diversionary tactics.” PTI VGN ROH
