The high-level committee on 'One Nation, One Election' held its first meeting on Saturday. Headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, the eight-member panel decided to seek views of political parties and the Law Commission on synchronized polls. The meeting was attended by Home Minister Amit Shah, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and others. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury declined to be part of the committee. The panel will examine required amendments to the Constitution and laws to enable holding simultaneous elections. It will submit recommendations at the earliest on holding concurrent polls for Lok Sabha, state assemblies and local bodies.
