One nation one election
One of the reasons the present govt wants a One Nation One Election is to save costs. And the supporters say that it will help citizens in spending less time in standing in queues to cast their votes. However, inpjementing this is a very very difficult task. So, instead of ONOE, the govt should let our Technology experts (they need to be really good in technology solutions and have to paid extremely well) explore foolproof systems of how citizens can cast their vote sitting at the comfort of their home or from wherever they are, without compromising on the security. This will save cost, allow teachers to teach, allow police to do their regular jobs, eliminate booth capturing, reduce citizens' effort and will get the results within hours of election. more

Multiple layered elections provide diversity in our unity. Thus Opposition rightly fears BJP controversial push for one nation one election. If Congress was ruling, would BJP want one nation one election? No! more
