Southern Rising Summit: 'One Nation, One Election Not Feasible in India' – Exclusive on ABP LIVE

At the Southern Rising Summit, Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed criticized the federal system's fairness, citing Kerala's insufficient disaster aid, especially during the 2018 floods, and alleging favoritism toward BJP-ruled states. “Wayanad received no support from the Centre, even during national disasters,” she remarked, underscoring perceived inequality in resource distribution. She also referenced the "Kerala Story" controversy during the Karnataka elections, viewing it as an affront to the state. Opposing the "One Nation, One Election" policy, both Shama and DMK's Kanimozhi Somu emphasized India's diversity. Shama stated, “India is a mosaic, not suited to one language, one religion, or one election,” stressing the need for federal representation.
