New Delhi: Former CM and MP Basavaraj Bommai said the NDA government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has taken a bold decision to implement the One Nation, One Election system through a constitutional amendment and those opposing this decision are against the nation’s development.

Speaking to the media in New Delhi on Friday, he mentioned that the Union Cabinet, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, has approved the implementation of the One Nation, One Election system through a constitutional amendment. There is a possibility that this will be tabled in the upcoming parliamentary session. This is a significant move, as frequent elections make it impossible for the country to progress effectively. From cooperative bodies to panchayat elections, assembly polls, and Lok Sabha elections, some form of elections is always taking place. Every election involves a huge expenditure of resources, and during election periods, it becomes challenging to carry out any development work, he added.

Bommai asserted that if the system is implemented, it will bring stability in governance. Stability is crucial for development. No other country has such a frequent election system, and this has been a topic of discussion for decades. The PM has made a bold decision, which will have long-term positive impacts. This is a decision that will benefit the nation, and it aligns with the recommendations of the committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind. Everyone must discuss and welcome this move.

The former CM said the citizens of the country should support this initiative. Those opposing it are working against the nation’s development. While some are opposing it for political reasons, the entire nation must stand in favor of this reform. Prime Minister Narendra Modi must be congratulated for taking this bold step.
