Indian minister criticizes Congress for opposing "One Nation, One Election" bill, sparking debate on democracy.

Indian Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the Congress party for opposing the "One Nation, One Election" bill, suggesting their opposition implies Jawaharlal Nehru's government was illegal. Rijiju argues the policy was in place for two decades post-independence. He also accused the Congress of misusing Article 356 and questioning electronic voting machines used in 2004 and 2009. Opposition parties like TMC and SP strongly oppose the bill, calling it an attack on democracy.
