Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has stressed the importance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "One Nation, One Election" initiative, emphasizing that this system is essential for propelling India forward. Rijiju made these remarks while shedding light on a report prepared under the leadership of former President Ram Nath Kovind, which will soon be presented to Parliament.

According to Rijiju, PM Modi has advocated for holding elections every five years, followed by an uninterrupted period of about five years for work. He hinted that this report, which explores the "One Nation, One Election" vision, is slated for presentation to the Lower House in the upcoming November 25 session, when multiple bills are expected to be introduced.
