The Parliament was abuzz earlier this week as MPs debated the introduction of a landmark constitutional amendment Bill proposing simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies—widely known as One Nation, One Election.

Advocates claim it will streamline governance and save resources, while critics warn it could marginalise regional parties and centralise power.

In this episode, host Nidhi Sharma dives deep into the proposed 129th constitutional amendment–How does it aim to synchronise India’s electoral cycles, and what are its implications for federalism and democracy? What’s driving the NDA government’s push for this reform? Why is the Opposition so fiercely against it? And what’s next in this high-stakes political showdown?–with Members of Parliament, Manish Tewari, and Sanjay Singh and PRS Legislative Research’s Chakshu Roy.

Join us as we unpack the complexities of this contentious Bill, its historical context, and its potential impact on India's political landscape. Tune in for a balanced analysis of one of India’s most ambitious and debated legislative moves.
