West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee expressed disagreement with the 'One Nation, One Election' concept in a letter to the committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind. She cited impracticality, highlighting the historical rupture of simultaneous polls and questioning the constitutional implications. Banerjee emphasized the Westminster system's non-simultaneity as a fundamental aspect, suggesting it should not be altered. The high-level committee seeks public input and political party opinions on the matter, aiming for a mutually agreed dialogue to discuss the concept of simultaneous elections.
