Law Commission held consultations with political parties in New Delhi on feasibility of holding simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and State Assemblies for the second and last day on Sunday.

Samajwadi Party has supported the idea of one nation one election. During its meeting with the Law Commission, the party said, the process of simultaneous elections should be started from 2019.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, Party General Secretary Ram Gopal Yadav said, in case public representatives switch sides or indulge in horse trading, action should be taken.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader B Vinod Kumar also spoke in favour of the idea of one nation one election.

DMK has opposed the proposal of One India One Election. The party said the present proposal will decimate the federal structure.

On Saturday, Shiromani Akali Dal supported the concept while AIADMK said, it is not against One Nation One Election but certain practical and serious issues need to be settled first. On the other hand, Trinamool Congress, CPI, AIUDF and Goa Forward Party opposed the concept.

PTI quoting Sources said, the BJP has sought more time from the Commission to present its views while the Congress has said that it will consult other opposition parties on the issue before deciding its course of action.

Last week, the CPI(M) had told the Law Commission that holding Lok Sabha and Assembly polls together is inherently anti-democratic and negates the principles of federalism.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has on several occasions stressed the need to hold simultaneous polls to help save time and money and allow political parties to pay more attention to governance.
