PM Modi's Vision for 'One Nation, One Election' Emphasized by Union Minister Kiren Rijiju as Key to India's Progress

New Delhi, [Current Date]: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has underscored the significance of PM Narendra Modi's vision for "One Nation, One Election", a system aimed at promoting unified voting across the country. Rijiju emphasized that this system is crucial for India's progress and would soon be presented to Parliament.

According to sources close to the Ministry, PM Modi stated earlier in an interview that moving forward without regular elections will hinder the country's growth, prompting it to consider holding general elections every five years followed by uninterrupted work periods of five years. The report on this initiative, prepared under former President Ram Nath Kovind, is nearing completion and will be rolled out during the upcoming Parliament session set for November 25.

Rijiju expressed gratitude towards PM Modi's strategic approach in bringing about a single electoral system across all states to promote national unity and ensure equitable participation from all corners of the country. He also warned that non-cooperation from any state on this issue would be considered detrimental to India's progress.

Notably, experts have welcomed the 'One Nation, One Election' initiative with an open mind, praising its potential to consolidate democracy in a democratic nation like India where regional variations could sometimes stand in the way of national unity. The upcoming Parliament session is expected to feature multiple bills on this subject and major policy issues, marking a significant step towards consolidating this vision.
