NEW DELHI, Nov 26: The prime minister Narendra Modi has re-emphasised on “one nation, one election” principle as the “need for India.” Speaking on the constitution day on Thursday, Modi said “one nation, one election is not a matter of debate only, but this is the need for India,”
In the 80th All India Presiding Officers Conference Modi suggested that “a single voters’ list should be brought in place for Lok Sabha, assembly and panchayat polls.”
“Separate lists are waste of resources,” PM said
Further Modi added that “Elections are held at different places every few months, the impact it has on development works is known to all. Therefore, it is a must to have deep study and deliberation on ‘One Nation, One Election’”
Legislature, Executive and Judiciary should work with better coordination and national interest should be the basis for every decision, Modi said.
“We must remember that when politics take over people and nation-first policies, the nation has to pay adversely in such situations,” he said.
