Hello Friends,

As we know our topic is One India One Election. I think we should proceed this discussion in fruitful approach by first discussing different advantages and disadvantages of conducting one election throughout the country for state as well as Central Government.

In my point of view, I want to present few cons of conducting one election are.

1. India is a 2nd most populated country with 1.2 billion population divided within 29 states and 6 union territories if elections are conducted at the same time it will lead to the huge demand of security, facilities, logistics, and proper organization of elections which is very difficult to manage.

2. If the election happens at the same time then each and every government will be focussed on elections for that period which will lead to high negligence of government toward public welfare and they will totally focus on elections and all reforms and important policies, decisions will be kept pending for that period of time.

3. It will lead to instability of government for the election period.

4. At the single point of time, the government will have to spend a huge amount of capital on this.

5. It will be tough to monitor all the elections simultaneously and put a lot of burden on Election commission.

Hi friends,

One-India, One-Election is one of the best though but the implementation of this idea for our country takes some time because the single party cannot handle the entire state's problem at a time. This idea reduces the expenses which is helpful for the economic growth of our country.

Hi, all.

The topic given to us is one India one Election. Its quite good concept to implement because it works in the way to reduce the corruption rate during the elections. In every 5years it born with a new government having the aim to improve the whole country in a single race. It's not the thing about one country one government its about the election. So the result after each 5years is quite crystal clear which enhance the decision capabilities of the public about the government So it's a good step.

My opinion is it might be better to conduct the election of state and at the same time. But it would be very difficult in a single day execute, it will be easy if it is conducted. Or anther point is I think leader Cannot approach all state equally. We can not a well smart and highly intelligent person can easily manage? It's very difficult moment in one India one election this is my view.

Hello guys.

One India one election is a good step supported by PM Narendra Modi. In our country, election is being held in every 6 months so government don't get a free hand to work due to the implementation of model code of conduct. Ruling party also don't want loose elections so some time considering the vote they don't take good steps which are really needed. It will also save the expenses of polls.

Good Morning to all of you.

As the topic is one India one election for today discussion and I'm going to give my best to approach the topic and what I saw that too many friends don't understand the thought line one India one election.

It means that both state election and centeral election conducted at the same time. In our country state government election and centeral (national) govt election held after 5 year of interval at different time.

Suppose in India there are 28 states and in 5-6 state election conducted every year and the centeral govt who ruled the nation can put their money for this election rather put their power/authority to solve the problems of nation and compaign the election and waste the govt money. So conducting elections at different interval of time at perticular state can waste a lot of money and increases corruption and decrease our economy rate.

So friends I would like to say that conduct central and state election parallely. I know its a very difficult for election party to conduct the both election in a one day or manage all the things such as security, awareness among the peoples, maintain the decorom in a country. And India is a 2nd largest population in a country and in huge amount so its very difficult to arrange all these stuff in a very short period of time. But My dear friends.

Nothing is impossible untill and unless we try wholeheartedly for it.

So there are some pros and cons for conducting state and central election at a same time.

Pros:
1. Save the money of gov and increase the economic condition of a country.

2. Eradicate the corruption from our country.

3. Build the strong leader who has a power of authority to control all these situations.

Cons:

1. Very difficult to arrange all these stuff such as security and aware the peoples because some are poor who are not aware so much and think what's change if they give their vote so they think it's a waste of time and money.

2. Security is the main problem because if both election help at the same time and no one rule the nation at that time and some people can riot in cities. And at time safety is much measure issue to safeguard peoples and prevent riots against the law.

Thank you, guys.

Have a good day.

Hello friends, I would like to present a whole new view to the undergoing discussion on one India one election.

Many of us think that it is a great idea to conduct elections at the same time but I would like to contradict the thought because if all central and state elections are conducted at the same time then we are givin away the power to a single political party to rule for five years by taking away the competition. A goverment ruled by particular party can take harsh decisions that may not be in public interest and the public can't do anything to oppose the decisions taken by the goverment because it was elected by the public itself. Goverments may not function up to the point because they may not have any fear of loosing any further state or central elections upto next five years. There may not be any strong oppositions because of the lack of interest of winning any elections till the next five years so the whole country may become unregulated due to absence of strong opposition. Now the elections are conducted at different timeframes in different regions that gives the people the right to express their feelings about the existing state and central goverment by casting their votes and in this way the goverment also functions in the common interest due to the fear of loosing upcoming elections.

The benifits or pros of conducting one nation one election is obvious but these are the major cons that needs to be thought of carefully before implementing anything baised on the views of certain people.

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.

Huge expenditure on election campaigns and rallies are mere wastage of money. India is a developing nation which has a lot many priorities in its list to be fulfilled to compete in this world. Right from the basic necessities of food, shelter, to the demand of the era like education, employment, civic necessities etc. , we need to invest a lot on these.

We definitely lack funds to use for the right cause, but India cannot be called a poor nation, as we have loads of money with the rich and stronger section of the society under the cover of black money. We have much uncountable, cash to spend for the election campaign which would not yield anything productive for the society or nation. These campaigns are mere show off to the society to popularize an unfamiliar face who is going to contest election and will become unfamiliar once again following the election period.

Despite wasting crores of rupees on these worthless campaigns, they can be used for feeding the poor section of the society and spreading literacy and awareness among the ignorant masses. Infrastructure to the educational institutions, medical facilities, building civic amenities etc. Could itself popularize a governing body without the requirement of these campaigning.

Yes, I extend my great support to this issue, as we know that in our country every year there will be some election like assembly, loksabh, grampanchyat, municipality election and much more do we really need this?

As we know that for such arrangement money is being used like water by political parties for their canvas, rallies and other events. It would be a great initiative if such thing take place in our country with this we can save our precious money and can be used it in another work, it will benefit to us only because with this we can save our valuable time as well as political parties can also focus on their work instead of bothering about election. If it is being implemented then it would be a revolutionary steps in Indian politics history.
