Bengaluru: Prime Minister Modi's remarks on "One Nation, One Election" were dismissed by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday, who claimed that the initiative cannot be implemented without consensus in parliament.

Speaking to reporters, Congress President Kharge said, "What PM Modi has said, he will not do it, because when it comes in the parliament, he has to take everybody into confidence, then only this will happen. This is impossible, 'One Nation One Election' is impossible.”

Prime Minister Modi stated earlier today that the BJP-led Central government was striving to establish a Secular Civil Code and "One Nation, One Election.”

Addressing the National Unity Day parade in Gujarat's Kevadia, Prime Minister Modi said, "We are now working towards One Nation One Election, which will strengthen India's democracy, give optimum outcome of India's resources and the country will gain new momentum in achieving the dream of a developed India. Today, India is moving towards One Nation One Civil Code that is a Secular Civil Code.”

Additionally, he stated that the central government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party established the One Nation, One Tax System- GST, replacing the previous different tax systems in India, ANI reported.

"Today we are all seeing the success of One Nation Identity- Aadhar and the world is also discussing it. Earlier, there were different tax systems in India, but we created the One Nation One Tax System- GST," he said.

"We strengthened the country's power sector with One Nation One Power Grid. We integrated the facilities available to the poor through One Nation One Ration Card. We have provided the facility of One Nation One Health Insurance to the people of the country in the form of Aayushman Bharat," he said.

The government's 'One Nation, One Election' plan, which calls for simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections with panchayat and urban body elections to be held within 100 days, was notably approved by the Union Cabinet on September 18. A high panel committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind presented a report with the recommendations.
