39% say voter may get confused in picking LS and Assembly candidates in #OneNationOneElection

The opposition is referring to One Nation, One Election (ONOP) as anti-democratic because they believe it undermines the principles of democracy and could lead to a concentration of power. One of the concerns is that voters may get confused between Lok Sabha and Assembly candidates, with 39% of respondents in a survey sharing this concern.Key Concerns of the Opposition:- Concentration of Power: ONOP could lead to a situation where one party dominates both the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, reducing the representation of opposition voices.- Loss of Regional Identity: Simultaneous elections might lead to a focus on national issues, overshadowing regional concerns and identities.- Undermining Federalism: ONOP could be seen as an attack on India's federal structure, where states have a significant degree of autonomy.The opposition argues that these concerns are valid and that ONOP could have far-reaching implications for India's democratic fabric.
