The BJP-led government formed an eight-member committee to examine the ‘One Nation, One Election’ with former President Ram Nath Kovind as its chairman and Home Minister Amit Shah and others as its member.

Earlier, AAP Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj had said that BJP was doing it to divert the attention from Hindenburg report 2.0. “I am very convinced that this is just a debate to deflect from the real issue of Hindenburg report 2.0. The Central Govt is scared of growing popularity & footprints of INDIA alliance and may push for early elections,” Bhardwaj had said.
