The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal, which aims to hold simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha, state assemblies, and local bodies within 100 days of parliamentary elections. Modi emphasized the initiative as a significant step towards enhancing participative democracy and acknowledged the efforts of former President Ram Nath Kovind in leading the consultative process for this recommendation. While the proposal has garnered support from several opposition parties, including the Bahujan Samaj Party and YSR Congress, it faces strong opposition from others like Congress and the AAP, who argue it undermines constitutional values. Additionally, the Cabinet cleared the Chandrayaan-4 mission and the Venus Orbiter Mission, reinforcing India's ambitions in space technology and research. Union Home Minister Amit Shah praised the decision as a demonstration of Modi's commitment to electoral reforms and effective resource management. The Cabinet’s actions are seen as fulfilling an election promise made by the Modi government during its current term.
