The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday said it opposes the idea of One Nation One Election (ONOE) as it will damage the idea of parliamentary democracy, the basic structure of the Constitution and federal polity of the country. AAP said that ONOE will be unable to deal with hung legislature, will actively encourage the evil of anti-defection and open buying-selling of MLAs/MPs.
“Cost sought to be saved by simultaneous polls is a mere 0.1 per cent of the annual budget. Tenets of Constitution and democracy cannot be sacrificed for narrow financial gains and administrative convenience,” AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta wrote in an official letter to the poll panel’s Secretary Niten Chandra.
