Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, who declined to serve on the panel formed by the Centre to examine ‘one nation, one election’ had given his consent to be part of the committee before notification with names came out, a source in the government said on Sunday.
Notably, Chowdhury, who was named a member of the High-Level Committee (HLC) constituted by the Centre on Saturday to examine ‘one nation, one election’ has declined to serve on the panel, saying its “terms of reference have been prepared in a manner to guarantee its conclusions”.
Chowdhary on Saturday wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah refusing to be a part of the
committee.
