What are the four amendments which resulted in the consensus between the political parties?
Answers
Answer:
The Law Commission of India has given stakeholders, including political parties, till May 8 to send in their comments on holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and all state assemblies. Here is a look at the debate and the controversies on the issue:
The issue
The Law Commission of India, which is examining a proposal to hold simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, has called for feedback on the matter. The panel, the top advisory body to the government and the courts on legal affairs and legislation, has thrown open the debate on the issue by inviting all stakeholders, including political parties, to respond in about three weeks’ time.
Significance
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen on simultaneous elections to avoid frequent invocation of the model code of conduct, which it perceives as an impediment in carrying out development work, and the expenditure that holding multiple assembly elections every year entails. It asked the Election Commission for its opinion in 2015. The commission’s view was that the concept is desirable, but not practical unless a number of steps are taken.
These include changes in the law and procurement of enough electronic voting machines, staff and logistics support. There is political opposition on grounds that it is a step towards excessive centralisation and curtailing or increasing the terms of assemblies to synchronise their elections with the Lok Sabha would be undemocratic.
