Hyderabad, September 18: AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday (September 18) criticised the Union cabinet's decision to clear the 'One Nation, One Election' recommendations put forth by a committee led by former President Ramnath Kovind.
"You can't do things based on your convenience. The constitution will function based on constitutional principles. It has always been the ideology of BJP and RSS - they don't want regional parties to exist. We have opposed this and we will continue to do so," said Owaisi, lashing out at the BJP.
Owaisi also questioned the 'One Nation, One Election' policy and asked the government that will they do away with the police tomorrow in the name of saving money citing that many cases are still pending in the court.
Owaisi was addressing the reporters in Hyderabad where he made the remarks.
The Union Cabinet accepted the recommendations put forth by the high-level committee, chaired by former President of India Ram Nath Kovind.
