One Nation One Election
Lok Sabha to focus on financial business now, One Nation, One Election Bills delayed
The Central government is likely to focus on completing the financial business before introducing bills related to the 'One Nation, One Election' in the Lok Sabha, media reports said.
According to reports, the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill were scheduled to be introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
Despite being placed in the initial list of businesses released on Friday, the bills have now been removed from the agenda for the day.
Government sources told India Today that the bills may be introduced later this week, following the completion of financial business, including the passage of the first batch of supplementary demands for grants, which are listed for discussion on Monday.
Though being removed from Monday's schedule, the Centre retains the option of bringing in legislative proposals through 'Supplementary List of Business' with the Speaker's permission.
According to the rules, the bills were circulated among the MPs last week.
The two bills aim to facilitate simultaneous elections in the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies.
