Amid speculation that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is planning to implement the ‘one nation, one election’ policy, or at least hold the Lok Sabha elections with the forthcoming Assembly elections in the five states later this year, the Opposition bloc, I.N.D.I.A., is learnt to have gone into a huddle to find a new approach, as they have been trying to expand the unity and put a holding panel or a convenor in place, at its third conclave in the city.
The attention suddenly shifted from the Adani issue and many other things on the anvil to ‘one nation one election’ later on Thursday in the conclave. The union government’s announcement that a special session would be held later this month to discuss the Amrit Kaal changed the track of the discussion among the top leaders of 28 parties, who were hosted for a dinner by Uddhav Thackeray.
