Rijiju Emphasizes Modi's Vision for Unifying Elections Across India
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has highlighted the significance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposal for a unified electoral system, aptly termed 'One Nation, One Election.' Rijiju stated that this vision is crucial for propelling India forward.
According to sources close to the government, PM Modi had stressed that for the country's progress, elections should be held every five years, followed by uninterrupted work for five years. The minister also revealed that a comprehensive report on 'One Nation, One Election,' prepared under the leadership of former President Ram Nath Kovind, is all set to be presented in Parliament during the upcoming session.
Rijiju explained why this unified voting system is essential, saying, "We need this because we are one nation, and a single electoral process should apply uniformly across the country."
This proposal aligns with Rijiju's remarks about the Parliament session scheduled for November 25. The session has set multiple bills for introduction, with significant discussions on 'One Nation, One Election' likely to feature prominently in the agenda.
The potential implementation of this unified electoral system is a move forward from existing systems where different regions have unique election rules and processes. As the country pushes towards greater national unity, Rijiju's endorsement of Modi's vision for 'One Nation, One Election' offers significant hope for progress and development in India.
