GUWAHATI : Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi questioned the BJP’s stance on ‘one nation, one election’ by highlighting the inconsistency in their approach. He pointed out that while the BJP campaigns for simultaneous elections across the country, they often conduct elections in multiple phases or at different times for their convenience.

Gaurav Gogoi said, “I just want to ask that those leaders who want one nation, one election in the country, why can’t they hold elections of 4 states together? You campaign all over the country that we want one country, one election, but when elections come, keeping in mind your own convenience, sometimes you put seven phases of elections in Lok Sabha, and sometimes you hold elections of Himachal and Gujarat at different times.

The whole country was expecting that elections of Haryana and Maharashtra would be held together, but keeping an eye on Maharashtra, its elections were held separately. This shows that the double policy of the BJP…”

Gogoi cited examples of separate election timings for Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat and for Haryana and Maharashtra, suggesting a double standard in the BJP’s policy.
