Quoting Indira Gandhi, Congress tweeted, "Respecting the electoral mandate is quintessential in a democracy. Even the slightest attempt to subvert it is an insult to the hardworking citizens. #CongressKeVichaar".
With the existing support of allies in Maharashtra, the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress are assured of winning at least four of the seven seats due to its numerical strength in the Maharashtra Assembly.
Early trends are indicating a victory for BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in the state of Maharashtra. However, BJP is facing a tough fight in the Haryana against the Congress and the regional party Jannayak Janata Party headed by Dushyant Chautala.
One Nation One Election will likely increase electoral participation. The fears about federalism and regional parties are quite unwarranted. If anything, this works in their favour.
