1. Who led the committee that submitted the report on the "One Nation, One Election" proposal to the Union Cabinet?
The committee, headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind, was set up by the Union government to examine the feasibility of holding simultaneous elections. The report suggests eighteen constitutional amendments to achieve synchronized elections for Lok Sabha, state assemblies, and local bodies. Kovind's committee submitted its proposal, which was later cleared by the Union Cabinet. This move aims to streamline the electoral process, reduce election frequency, and save time and resources. The proposed bill is expected to be introduced in the upcoming winter session of Parliament.
