Earlier, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had raised objection on this issue. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee questioned the meaning of ‘one country one election’ and said, I understand the meaning of one nation in the historical, political and cultural context, but I do not understand the exact constitutional and structural implications of this term in this case. I am getting it. Does the Indian Constitution follow the concept of ‘One Country, One Government’? I am afraid, this will not happen. He said that until the ‘fundamental puzzle’ of where this concept came from is not solved, it is difficult to reach any concrete opinion on this issue.

Two meetings of the committee constituted in September last year have been held. The committee has asked the public on this issue.
