Something that I had demanded on this very platform has been approved by cabinet of India today.

But let it be clear to all the reason we want one nation one election is not for party in center to sweep elections but to spend less of the public money on elections and less time of netas and babus.

From the time that is freed up they should be doing more public good.

This august group should discuss how such productivity is measured. more

It so be as it has been in starting after independence. It will save lot of NATIONAL RESOURCES AND VALUABLE TIME which will be available for other activities in NATIONAL INTERESTS. In case of fall of any elected Government, President Rule should be imposed if remaining period is more than 50% otherwise officiating Government should look after as being done during ELECTION PERIOD. more  
It is reasoned that way, "to spend less of the public money on elections and less time of netas and babus", to get citizens support and approved by cabinet, but it is to sweep elections by government at centre. more  
It is a welcome move. There are plenty of benefits. But we should also aim at electoral reforms. That is not being initiated. At least we should start with one by one. Has any proposal towards this is submitted to the Givernment for its consideration?. more  
The "One Nation, One Election" proposal in India aims to conduct simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha (national parliament) and the various state legislative assemblies. The idea behind this system has several potential benefits: 1. Cost Reduction Less Financial Burden: Conducting elections separately for each state and national legislature incurs significant costs. By holding them simultaneously, both the central and state governments can save a substantial amount of money on election logistics, security, and manpower. 2. Time Efficiency Fewer Election Cycles: Multiple elections spread across the year create disruptions. With a unified election, the frequency of electoral processes would decrease, allowing more time for governance, policy implementation, and development activities. 3. Improved Governance Focus on Policy Making: Frequent elections often divert the attention of lawmakers and the public from governance to campaigning. With fewer elections, governments can focus on long-term policy planning and administration without the interruption of continuous election cycles. 4. Reduced Election Fatigue Voter and Administrative Relief: Multiple elections can lead to voter fatigue and disengagement. By aligning the election cycles, voters would be more likely to engage in the democratic process, and the election process would be streamlined for administrative bodies as well. 5. More Stable Mandates Stronger Mandates: Simultaneous elections may lead to stronger, more stable mandates at both the state and national levels, reducing the possibility of fragmented results or hung assemblies, which can create instability. 6. Increased Efficiency in Campaigning Focused Campaigns: Political parties can concentrate their resources and campaign efforts in one go, instead of having to spread them over multiple years and different election cycles, making the electoral process more efficient. 7. Better Voter Turnout Higher Participation: A single, well-coordinated election process could potentially boost voter turnout as citizens are more likely to participate in a single comprehensive election compared to several smaller, separate ones. 8. Reduced Election Code Violations Cleaner Campaigns: With elections held simultaneously, political parties may be more careful about adhering to the election code of conduct since they would be under the spotlight for a longer period and across a wider geographical area. more  
Apart from reducing expenses, this move will also get rid of frequent interruptions in governance due to a) model code of conduct b) leaders of the party in power having to spend time for canvassing several times a year. more
