Se requiere una decisión política sobre el plazo para las elecciones de mitad de mandato, señala el presidente del JPC

P.P. Choudhary, presidente del Comité Parlamentario Conjunto sobre elecciones simultáneas, declaró el lunes que las decisiones sobre el resto del mandato en caso de elecciones anticipadas deben tomarse mediante consultas políticas con los partidos.

P.P. Choudhary habló tras las consultas sobre el Proyecto de Ley de la Constitución (129ª Enmienda) de 2024 y el Proyecto de Ley de Leyes de los Territorios de la Unión (Enmienda). Señaló que si un gobierno pierde su mayoría faltando dos años y medio, podrían celebrarse elecciones anticipadas para el período restante. Sin embargo, se requeriría un plazo límite claro cuando resten solo seis o tres meses.

El Sr. Choudhary afirmó que también podría ser necesaria una enmienda a las leyes contra el transfuguismo. Añadió que el gobierno presidencial podría aplicarse durante el resto del mandato. Sobre los mandatos fragmentados, observó que ya existen mecanismos para manejar tales situaciones.

El presidente señaló las elecciones simultáneas celebradas en el pasado entre 1952 y 1967. Destacó que las elecciones frecuentes suponen una carga para los docentes e interrumpen los programas de desarrollo. El Sr. Choudhary aclaró que la propuesta no tiene como objetivo establecer un sistema de partido único.

As the special parliamentary session began, opposition parties in Lok Sabha fiercely protested three bills to implement one-third women's reservation via delimitation on Thursday. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, Delimitation Bill, 2026, and Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026. PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah assured southern states' seats would increase proportionally without reducing their share.

The government will likely introduce a 'schedule' in Parliament on Thursday specifying Lok Sabha seats for each state, maintaining their current percentage shares. This accompanies three bills cleared last week for women's reservation and delimitation based on the 2011 Census. Lok Sabha seats for all states will rise by 50% to a total of 850.
