The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution
against the Centre's proposed 'One Nation, One Election' policy.
Chief Minister MK Stalin moved the resolution, besides
another one urging the Centre not to go ahead with the proposed delimitation
exercise to be taken up after 2026 based on the census.
The 'One Nation, One Election' move was "against
democracy, impractical; not enshrined in the Constitution of India," the
resolution said and urged the Union government not to implement it.
"Elections to local bodies, state Assemblies and
Parliament are being held at different times on the basis of people centric
issues in (a) vast and diverse country like India and it is against the idea of
democratic decentralisation," the resolution added.
