Pranay Kotasthane quoted in Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Pranay Kotasthane, deputy director of the Takshashila Institution, was quoted in Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Does “One Nation, One Election” Make Sense for India?

He was quoted as saying “if the MCC is perceived to undermine governance and induce policy paralysis, one option is for the ECI to convene an all-party meeting in which the terms of the MCC are renegotiated in ways that either shorten the time the code is in force or exempt certain governmental activities from its ambit. The MCC was the outcome of a cross-party consensus, nudged along by the ECI. However, its structures are not set in stone, and there is a case to be made that the code should evolve with the times.”
