ONE NATION, ONE ELECTION: A NEED OR A POLITICAL STRATEGY
Downloads
Abstract
Elections are considered as the backbone of Democracy and India being the “World’s largest democratic country” has to go through the long electoral procedure at regular intervals. From local elections to presidential polls, it has to uphold the democratic principles by conducting free and fair elections. Merely by conducting elections regularly does not prove that we have an effective democracy. Democracy means and includes continuity, consistency and Good governance. To achieve this, we conduct Elections but most of our time get occupied in different kinds of Elections like Vidhan Sabha elections, municipal elections, Panchayat elections, and Zilla Parishad elections throughout the year. It results in wasting a lot of money and time which can be used for developmental work. A system must be evolved where a fixed period of five years should be given to the particular government to focus on Governance rather than focusing on conducting Elections. Simultaneous polls are required to ensure an effective Democracy. That means voter will cast his or her vote for all the three tiers of Government on the same day. To save and utilize our Precious time and hard earned money for the good is the main motive of “One Nation One election.” There have been various constitutional amendments in the past to strengthen the democracy, then why not this? Constitution amendment must be brought if it is in the interest of the Nation.
