Why One Nation One election bill needs to pass quickly in India.
During elections we think about
when is it going to happen ?
Who is going to win ?
which party is better ?
Who are the leaders Contesting ?
What is the manifesto ?
but Who is going to think of the cost of the elections ?
One nation, one election is one of the most significant issues which has always been in the limelight. The government always tried to implement it, but due to the opposition, it rejected the bill. The conduct of elections being held in various states at various durations indicates time consumption, which is beyond our imagination. We take elections as a pleasure and participate in them with high interest and enthusiasm.
The current elections in Assam, West Bengal, Keralam, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry raise questions about how the election commission is dealing with the election procedures.
It takes an immense amount of effort to conduct an election. At least 6 months preparation and all the development activities are stopped due to the election code of conduct, procedures get delayed as all the focus is on elections.
Reasons why One Nation One Election should be implemented.
*In India, elections play a pivotal role. Every part of India has elections in different contexts, from by polls to legislative elections from different states to bodies. It takes high time consumption, effort, manpower, and resources to conduct an election.
*To cut the cost of elections.
*To reduce delays in development activities or postpone projects and fund distribution.
*The reduction of government resources during the time of elections, where every government employee is being used for election procedures.
*Politics stops development, especially due to elections.
*In 2019, almost unofficially 60,000 crores were spent on Indian elections, making it the world's most expensive elections.
*The simplification of election procedures every 5 years instead of every other year.
These are a few reasons why one nation, one election bill is important for India. It will ensure cost-cutting of the election commission and faster growth for the economy. The major focus would only ensure development and the economy in society rather than delays, obstacles and politics.
