Committee Led by Former President Kovind Submits Report Advocating ‘One Nation, One Election’ to President Murmu
A committee, led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has recently submitted a detailed report on the concept of ‘One Nation, One Election’ to President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This comprehensive report strongly advocates for the simultaneous holding of national and state elections.
The idea behind ‘One Nation, One Election’ is to synchronize the electoral cycles of all levels of government in India. Currently, elections are held at different times for the Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies, and local bodies, leading to frequent disruptions in governance and excessive expenditure.
The committee’s report highlights several key benefits of implementing this concept. Firstly, it would reduce the burden on the Election Commission and save valuable resources by conducting elections only once in a five-year cycle. Secondly, it would minimize the impact of political campaigns on governance, allowing elected representatives to focus on their responsibilities rather than constantly being in campaign mode.
Furthermore, the report emphasizes that ‘One Nation, One Election’ would enable better policy coordination between the central and state governments. It would facilitate the implementation of long-term development plans and prevent policy reversals due to frequent changes in government at different levels.
However, the report also acknowledges the challenges associated with implementing such a system. It suggests the need for constitutional amendments, legal framework modifications, and consensus-building among political parties. The committee recommends a phased approach to gradually transition towards synchronized elections.
In conclusion, the committee’s report on ‘One Nation, One Election’ provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and challenges of implementing this concept. It urges policymakers and stakeholders to consider the advantages of synchronized elections in order to enhance governance, save resources, and improve policy coordination.
