One Nation One Election: Simultaneous Elections in Indian Scenario

Abstract

In any democratic country, election is a tool by which common citizens get an opportunity to come forward and work for the development of the society.  At present in India, elections are held separately for central and state government and simultaneous elections for central and state government is a debatable issue. Stable governance, reduce massive elections expenditure, promote national perspective over state regionalism are major reasons in favour whereas, it reduces the importance of the state elections and there would be no opportunity to dissolve Lok Sabha or State Assemblies are some critical reasons in against the simultaneous elections of state and central government in India. This paper is totally based on the secondary data.
