Statement: Should the parliamentary elections in India be held every three years as against five years at present?
Arguments:
- No. This will enhance wastage of money and resources.
- Yes. This will help the voters to change non-performing representatives without much delay.
- No. The elected representatives will not have enough time to settle and concentrate on developmental activities.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The election process entails exorbitant expenditure. So, holding elections very often will surely lead to wastage of money and resources. Thus, I holds strong. Also, the elected representatives need a considerable period of time to implement their policies and also convince the voters of their working. So, III holds strong while II does not.

Only 1 and 2 are strong.
Do you think 3 years is not enough to settle. Then how can you say 5 years is more than enough to run a government.

I say only 2 is strong.
You are saying that 3 years isnt enough time!? And rather than changing the non performing govt you pay heed to money?
Who tells you to run rallies?
In us do you see so many banners and posters?
Do you see thousands of men on roads with flags on bikes and cars?
This is just to publicise. And shouldn't be incurred on govt's bank account.
Three years is enough time to settle and bring changes.
