One India One Election - Pros and Cons

Hello.

So, I will start with pros of one nation one election:.

There are a bunch of benefit of single election India is always on mode of election it require lots of resources, money, time political parties gives more emphasize to election more than the work, it will help to making policy for state as well as center level, political parties can gives there more time to people rather than election.

Cons: If in India single election has taken place and a single party elected those single party not work properly in the center as well as state people do not have the option to change the government at least at state level current scenario of election people have chance to change government if government does not work properly in center. Also its difficult to implement a big country like India.

In my opinion, it is not a good idea, regular election keep the govt in control and force the parties to regularly hearing of Janta's problem. If the election were conducted once in 5 years every political party will visit the ground only in the last year.

The election is one of the key element of democracy, what is the point of saving money by sacrificing some of your democratic power.

This concept or idea is not new in India. After the independence and enforcement of constitution, the first election which was conducted in the year of 1952 was conducted simultaneously. It was in practical from 1952 to 1970 i.e. 1952, 1957, 1962 and 1967. This concept was ended when fourth Lok Sabha was dissolved early. This recommendation is again raised by our Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi and the idea is also supported by the President Mr Pranab Mukherjee.

Problems associated with Simultaneous Election.

1. Challenging Constitutional Provisions : In India, as we know that the Constitution is the supreme and land of all law. Constitution states that every law should be in conformity with the Constitution and all laws get its power from it. Article 83 (2) deals with the tenure of Lok Sabha that the tenure will be for 5 years unless dissolved earlier and the same for the state assembly under Article 172. State governments are also empowered that they can dissolve the assemblies before the tenure ends but the problem is this if they dissolve the assemblies for simultaneous election, it will be a violation of the Constitution. Article 356 empowers the president to dissolve the state assembly in case of emergency. It means the President is also bound by the Constitution.

2. Similar parties government in state and centre : After applying the idea of simultaneous election, there is the possibility of similar government at the state and centre level. It happened in the election of the year 1952, 1957 and 1962. It creates a problem when most of the voters want to elect a candidate in the state is that party which is not having any possibility to come to the centre. So at that time, the voter will not give the vote to that candidate while voting for that party which is having the possibility to come in the union. Thus there will not be fair voting and it will harm the soul of democracy and the situation will be just like a one-party rule in the whole nation and there will be no opposition to any action.

3. The consensus of the regional party :

It will be the biggest problem in the simultaneous election to have consent of regional party because there is always a tendency for voters to vote the same party in state and at the Centre in case the Lok Sabha polls and the state elections are held together and without the coordination of state parties simultaneous election is not possible.

4. Lack of paramilitary force:

In every election whether of state or centre the paramilitary force is needed. In 2016 election of Bihar legislative assembly election the chief minister Nitish Kumar demanded the paramilitary force for the election. This is my opinion that each state does not want to put its police during election due to fear of biases. So it is not possible to employ force in every state for the election because there is only 700-800 companies of paramilitary force are available as of now while 3500 companies are required.

Benefits of One Nation One Election.

1. There will be ample time for the state legislature to discuss on policy or to implement the policies.

2. It will reduce the cost of an election.

3. It will be good for those who reside outside India because if they come to vote on election then there will be an opportunity for them to vote in all elections at one time.

4. Frequent elections lead to senior leaders at the Centre getting involved with campaigning often at the cost of their ministerial work suffering.

Conclusion :
Thus as we can say after the study of these arguments that there are strong arguments on both side. If the simultaneous election happens, there will be some problem for our nation but it is time to think beyond the boundaries and traditional limit and try to understand the implications of the simultaneous elections.

Elections have always been an issue of concern among the whole nation. Either its the results or the voting or the election campaigns these all have been like a fire spreading in the country. Honourable PM have come along an idea of "ONE INDIA ONE ELECTION". It is not new for our nation. Ths policy had been in implementation from 1952 since 1967. But the question arises if it is fruitful! Every person has its own point of view. According to some people, it would pave the way for the nation's growth while some say that it would not be possible to conduct all the centre and state elections simultaneously in such a large country like India. But what I think is it is not good even if possible for our country. It sounds very difficult as a large number of people would have to vote on a single day. The major problem would be the great rush and the resulting disputes and issues as well. It does not provide the platform for free and fair elections. Many people have the opinion that one election would help in saving money and lead to strong our economy but how many of you think that the money would actually be used for us. It would as usual be gone to the corrupt leaders. The one election also troubles the peace and security of our country. And if a single party would be elected both in the centre and any of some states that would be troubling for the state people as the government would not be that conscious as they have no fear of losing some other election and may rule in a dictator manner. At last, I would say that every issue has two sides like a coin. We all have different opinions. But we should be more careful while choosing something. I agree that the continuous elections every now and then is a problem leading to a hige wastage of money but 'one India one election' is not a true and beneficial solution to this problem for sure. I hope my thoughts have not hurt anyone's feelings and I am clear to everyone as well.

Hello friends, I am Virendra Bera from Nagaur, Rajasthan.

As we all know that India is a democratic country. India is second the second largest democratic country In the whole world.

One election and One Government is not new for India. But In My opinion, It is a very difficult task to manage our public by one government.

It has taken a lot of time and money.

Politicians are busy With their advertisements.

We should improve the system of the election commission process for our bright nation's Future.

According to me "One India One Election" is possible but require lot of hard work before implementation. We all know that India is 2nd largest country in the world in population. So lot of pre arrangement required like election commission need to proper planning for it. Security will be major concern to center government. As every coin has to side so there will be lot of pros and cons of it.

1. One India one election government can save public money and can spend this amount for betterment of people.

2. Every political party spend money and time to attract public. By doing this they can spend this amount and time to serve state people.

3. Corruption is one main reason that why our country is growing properly. It will help to reduce the level of corruption.

Yes. I agree that implementation of one India one election is a very tough job for us, but if decided nothing is impossible. Take an example of demonetization. Wasn't it a tough job? but the conditions are normal now. Similarly, One India One election can be possible.

As per today's situation of election, there is time lag between the central and state elections. During state elections, Ruling party always try to win in state elections. At that time they diverted from the path of Development of country and the focus is on establishing the power in state. In India, there are elections after every 5 to 6 months. Half time of ruling party goes in publicity, speeches and meetings. Also, there is lot expenditure of money and time also. Then how and when India will be the Developed Nation. Developed Countries like USA has one country One election. So we can also Think about One India One Election.

But before implementing this there needs to make strong our Election Commission and Security. To educate and guide people about this. Then only It will be possible. If we become successful in implementing this it will always helpful for us and our Country.

India : Land of largest Democracy, covering 28 states and 8 union territories and 850 regional languages. So it's hard to imagine for conducting an one election in the entire country.

One India one election means the election of states and Central government at the same time. I think that a good step for saving a money which has wastes in every election. We know that elections of state governments of different states conducted by the election commission in every 6 months, this causes wastage of lot of money and time so I think government take a decision to conducting the election of states and central government at the same time, we know that it is difficult to conduct but not impossible. This is my opinion.

Thanks.

I think it is a quite difficult as India is a huge country and it is very difficult for one government to manage the country. One government in the sense central government. Some of the local issues and decisions must be taken by state government for quick resolution and development. One country one election thought is useful for small countries not for demographically large country like India.
