New Delhi, Dec 12: The Union Cabinet<\/a> on Thursday approved the \u2018One Nation, One Election,\u2019 bill in the parliament, marking a significant step towards the electoral process, sources said.
\nA comprehensive bill is expected to follow this decision, paving the way for unified elections across the nation.
\nEarlier on Wednesday, former President of India Ram Nath Kovind stated that the Central government must build a consensus on the \u2018One Nation, One Election\u2019 initiative, emphasising that the issue transcends political interests and serves the nation as a whole.
\nSpeaking to the media, Kovind, who chairs the committee on the issue, said, \u201cThe Central government will have to build consensus. This issue is not in the interest of any party but the nation. It (One Nation, One Election) will be a game-changer\u2013it\u2019s not my opinion but that of economists, who believe that after its implementation, the country\u2019s GDP will rise by 1-1.5 per cent.\u201d
\nNotably, in September this year, the Union Cabinet approved the \u2018One Nation, One Election\u2019 proposal, which aims to hold simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, along with urban body and panchayat polls, within a span of 100 days.
\nThe recommendations were outlined in a report by a high-level panel chaired by former President Kovind.
\nFollowing the Cabinet\u2019s approval, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the decision, calling it a significant step towards enhancing India\u2019s democracy.
\n\u201cThe Cabinet has accepted the recommendations of the High-Level Committee on Simultaneous Elections. I complement our former President, Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji, for spearheading this effort and consulting a wide range of stakeholders. This is an important step towards making our democracy even more vibrant and participative,\u201d PM Modi posted on X.
\nMeanwhile, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan voiced his support on Wednesday for holding simultaneous elections to the state assemblies and the Lok Sabha, arguing that frequent elections lead to significant wastage of time and public funds.
\nChouhan noted that frequent elections disrupt public welfare programmes and result in substantial expenditures of public money.
\n\u201cI am an agriculture minister, but during the elections, I spent three months campaigning. It wastes the time of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Ministers, MPs, MLAs, officers, and employees. All development work comes to a standstill. Then, new announcements have to be made,\u201d Chouhan said<\/p>\n
