CPI-M faces leadership crisis: Tripura MP

Agartala, Apr 7 (UNI) Lok Sabha Member from Tripura, Biplab Kumar Deb on Monday criticized CPI-M and alleged that it doesn’t have a national leader while Congress revolves around one family.
Speaking at a convention on One Nation, One Election, he said the initiative was necessary, as frequent elections require a long time and involve huge expenditure.
The One Nation, One Election issue is not new. After the country’s independence, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha elections used to be held together. But due to the misdeeds of the Congress party, which started breaking elected governments, many elections had to be held repeatedly, Deb observed.
Now, except for three to four states, elections in most states are held at different times. That is why we need to bring back the One Nation, One Election bill. The same Congress party, which once supported the idea, is now saying that it harms democracy. They don’t even know the history of the country, Deb said.
He pointed out that One Nation, One Election will benefit the country by saving money, allowing more work to be done, and saving time.
