On India’s 78th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly advocated for 'One Nation, One Election,' urging political parties to support simultaneous Lok Sabha and state assembly polls. Addressing the nation from the Red Fort, Modi highlighted the inefficiency and disruptions caused by frequent elections. “Every work is linked to elections, creating hurdles in progress,” he stated. Modi emphasized that extensive consultations have been held, and a unified electoral cycle could enhance developmental focus. The proposal has faced opposition from some parties but has received backing from the BJP and several experts.
