The government has moved to increase the size of the joint parliamentary committee that will examine the two bills proposing "One Nation, One Election" (ONOE) from 31 members to 39. The expansion aims to provide broader representation across different political parties, ensuring a more inclusive review of the controversial legislation.
As per PTI, the proposed list of members now includes additional representation from various parties. The new Lok Sabha MPs suggested for the panel include Baijayant Panda and Sanjay Jaiswal from the BJP, Chhotelal from the Samajwadi Party (SP), Anil Desai from Shiv Sena (UBT), Shambhavi from the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), and K Radhakrishnan from the CPI(M). This inclusion ensures a diverse mix of viewpoints on the proposed changes to the electoral system.
