Govt to introduce financial business first; One Nation, One Election bills next week

New Delhi: The government has postponed the introduction of Bills related to 'one nation, one election' in the Lok Sabha until after financial business is completed, according to sources.

Previously, the two bills, the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill were scheduled for introduction in the Lok Sabha on Monday.

The sources in the government said the bills could be brought later this week after the House passes the first batch of supplementary demands for grants listed for Monday, PTI reported.

The revised list of business, issued by the Lok Sabha secretariat, does not have the two bills on the agenda for Monday.

However, the government can always bring in legislative agenda to Parliament at the last minute through 'Supplementary List of Business' with the permission of the Lok Sabha Speaker.

The two bills related to the implementation of the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies have been circulated among members last week as per the rules of procedure.

The Winter session of Parliament is scheduled to conclude on December 20.
