"Assault On Constitution": P Chidambaram On "One Nation, One Election"

P Chidambaram said the BJP does not have the numbers to pass the required constitutional amendments for holding simultaneous polls.

The Congress on Saturday rejected the 'One Nation, One Election' idea, calling it an assault on the Constitution and federalism.

Addressing a briefing on the deliberations of the first meeting of the reconstituted Congress Working Committee (CWC) here, party leader P Chidambaram said the BJP does not have the numbers to pass the required constitutional amendments for holding simultaneous polls.

"One Nation, One Election is an assault on the Constitution... it is an attack on federalism," he said when asked about the issue.
