The Indian government has announced a surprise 5-day special session of Parliament from September 18, fueling speculation of an early general election. The session may see the introduction of bills for 'One Nation, One Election', Uniform Civil Code and women's reservation. With the current Modi government's term ending in May 2023, the unusual session has sparked buzz of polls being preponed, possibly clubbed with state elections. Theories cite rising inflation, unfavorable initial polls, and preventing opposition unity as reasons for early polls. The session announcement coincided with the opposition INDIA alliance's two-day meeting to discuss 2024 poll planning.
