Independent MP Pappu Yadav raised concerns about the absence of PM Narendra Modi during the Lok Sabha debate on the One Nation, One Election (ONOE) Bill.

He also questioned why the BJP didn't support ONOE when they won three elections and needed 300 seats, but now, with 362 seats, they are pushing for it. He emphasized the need for reforms in education, health, justice, and the economy instead of ONOE.
