Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari and 19 BJP MPs skipped the Lok Sabha session on the One Nation, One Election Bill, defying a three-line party whip. The absence of these MPs, including Giriraj Singh and Jyotiraditya Scindia, has raised concerns, with sources indicating possible notices for their absence. The Bill, introduced by Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, received 269 votes in favor and 198 against during its introductory phase but faces challenges in securing a two-thirds majority for passage. Opposition leaders criticized the Bill, calling it an attack on India's federal structure, while the BJP plans to push further deliberations.
