Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed the government's commitment to this policy, and the Union Cabinet has approved the proposal, including the recommendations of a high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind. The Kovind panel report, which found widespread support for simultaneous polls, was placed before the Cabinet and received unanimous approval. Implementation will be done in two phases.
