Agartala’s Rabindra Bhavan recently hosted a significant one-day convention centered on the “One Nation, One Election” concept. The event was jointly organized by the All Tripura Asha Facilitators and Asha Workers Association, and the Anganwadi Worker and Helper Association, both affiliated with the Mazdoor Monitoring Cell.
The convention drew a notable gathering, including Member of Parliament Biplab Kumar Deb and Mazdoor Monitoring Cell President Biplab Kar, among other prominent figures. Attendees voiced their support for the “One Nation, One Election” proposal, which suggests holding simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies, and local bodies.
Proponents of “One Nation, One Election” argue that it could lead to several benefits, such as reduced election expenditure, more efficient governance, and decreased disruption to daily life and essential services. The convention served as a platform to discuss these potential advantages and raise awareness about the concept among workers and the general public.
The participation of labor organizations like the All Tripura Asha Facilitators and Asha Workers Association, and the Anganwadi Worker and Helper Association highlights the broad support base for this initiative. These groups represent a significant portion of the workforce, and their involvement underscores the potential impact of electoral reforms on various segments of society.
The presence of MP Biplab Kumar Deb further emphasized the political importance of the convention. His participation signals the growing momentum behind the “One Nation, One Election” idea and its potential to reshape India’s electoral landscape.
