Opposition questions PM’s ‘one nation, one election’ push after EC excludes Maharashtra from upcoming Assembly polls
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar explained the rationale behind the decision, stating that logistical and security concerns influenced the EC's approach. "Last time, Maharashtra and Haryana elections were held together. This time, with four states due for elections and heavy rainfall in Maharashtra, as well as several festivals lined up, we decided to conduct elections in two states together," Kumar said. He added that the additional factors of security force requirements also played a role in the decision.
