Kapil Sibal Opposes ONOE to JPC, Cites Constitutional Flaws

  • Kapil Sibal deposed before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on 'One Nation, One Election' (ONOE) on November 10, 2025.
  • Sibal, a senior advocate and Congress leader, opposed ONOE, arguing it misaligns with the Constitution's framers' vision for distributed political accountability.
  • The ONOE proposal, introduced as the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2024, aims to synchronise Lok Sabha and state assembly elections.
  • The 39-member JPC, chaired by BJP MP PP Chaudhary, is hearing diverse stakeholders, including former CJIs and legal experts, on the ONOE proposal.

Why It Matters: Sibal's stand on 'One Nation, One Election' impacts India's democratic structure.
