The Goa Forward Party (GFP), an ally of the BJP, today stated that it was opposed to holding Parliament and state Assembly polls simultaneously as it was "against the spirit of federalism".
The BJP, incidentally, is a votary of the "one nation one election" plan.
GFP president Vijai Sardesai, in his communication today to Justice (Retd) B S Chauhan, Chairman, Law Commission of India, said that "not withstanding nominal benefits, the proposal for simultaneous elections will be totally against the spirit of federalism, which is a fundamental feature of our Constitution."
