Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said that ‘One Nation, One Election’ is impossible. Kharge’s reaction came on the statement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding ‘One Nation, One Election’ and Secular Civil Code. He said that when the bill comes into the Parliament then Prime Minister has to take everybody into confidence, then only it will happen. Kharge further added that it is impossible; ‘One Nation, One Election is impossible,’ he stressed.

He also cited the reason for his ‘Impossible’ remark. Speaking to ANI, Kharge said, it’s not possible as there are several states, several problems and regional parties are there. Referring to PM Modi’s statement, he said that the PM is telling everything simply which is not possible.

Furthermore, Kharge targeted PM Modi over unemployment. He said when he (Prime Minister) can’t give two crores employment which is in his hands, how will he do this. He questioned PM Modi and asked about 15 lakhs which the PM had promised to give to everybody. “Where is his money, he can’t do,” said Kharge.

He said that the PM is not doing anything which he is supposed to and can do. He added that PM Modi is saying all these things to fool the people.
