One Nation, One Election Will Damage Idea Of Parliamentary Democracy: AAP

The AAP further stated that the tenets of the Constitution and democracy cannot be sacrificed for "narrow financial gains" and administrative convenience.

The Aam Aadmi Party today said holding simultaneous elections in the country will damage the idea of parliamentary democracy and the basic structure of the Constitution.

It will not be able to deal with hung legislature and will actively encourage anti-defection, the AAP said.

The remarks of the AAP, a constituent of the INDIA bloc, came a day after the Congress, also part of the same grouping, strongly opposed the idea of holding simultaneous elections in the country, saying it goes against the guarantees of federalism and the basic structure of the Constitution.
