Constitutional hurdles and political opposition for “One Nation, One Election” idea

The BJP is committed to implementing the "One Nation, One Election" policy, aiming to synchronize national, state, and local elections to avoid frequent disruptions. A feasibility study led by former President Kovind indicates this could be implemented by 2029, with the BJP pushing to realize it before the next general elections, according to a senior leader of the party.
There are challenges in implementing the "One Nation, One Election" plan. Legal experts have pointed out that at least five constitutional amendments are needed to make this possible. A key question that arises is whether Prime Minister Modi has enough support in Parliament to pass these amendments in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Moreover, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), an important ally of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has not yet agreed to the proposal.
Regardless of whether elections are conducted simultaneously or under the current system, voters seem indifferent. While the BJP-led NDA is showing green light to the plan, the Congress-led INDIA alliance is raising a red flag in opposition.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India is focused on ensuring that 100% of voters participate in elections. Whether voting happens once or twice, increasing voter turnout in the upcoming elections remains the top priority.
