The 'One nation, one election' Bill, according to Neerja Chowdhury, can deepen the north-south fault lines for several reasons:
  • Regional Disparities: Implementation of the bill without addressing regional disparities could lead to further alienation of southern states, which already feel neglected in terms of resource allocation and development projects.
  • Cultural Differences: North and south India have distinct cultural identities, and a uniform election cycle could undermine the diversity and unique political concerns of each region.
  • Historical Context: The history of regional autonomy and federalism in India may clash with the centralized approach of 'one nation, one election,' intensifying the existing fault lines.
Overall, the bill's potential impacts on the north-south fault lines underscore the importance of balancing national unity with regional diversity and autonomy.
