While the government nodded to accepting recommendations from a high-level panel on 'One Nation One Election', Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary said on Thursday that the Opposition was "being a little too quick to criticise" and one needs to think about the issue before commenting.
The Union Cabinet Wednesday accepted the One Nation One Election (ONOE) report of a high-level committee headed by former president Ram Nath Kovind, even as Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the BJP comes up with such things to divert attention of people from real issues when elections approach.
Asked whether RLD supports ONOE, Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Chaudhary, who leads RLD, a key NDA ally said: "You can say (that). We are part of the government. So every decision by the Cabinet, we are fulfilling our collective responsibility".
He said people need to build a deeper understanding of what is actually being proposed.
"We are being too quick to criticize, that is my only thing that I am going to say for the Opposition parties. Opposition parties are not there to simply oppose every decision. These decisions are not just for those who are in power today. These are to deepen and strengthen the impact of our democracy at the grassroots," Chaudhary said.
He was addressing the media on the sidelines of an event here.
