One nation, one election? Perish the thought

India Today  

The one nation, one election thought has been doing the rounds for the past few years. Later Union minister Rajnath Singh said that the government will form a committee to look into the feasibility of one nation, one election. One nation, one election votaries say that frequent elections bring the Model Code of Conduct into play thus hampering government working. One nation, one election will also lead to national political parties getting a bigger share of the political pie. One election, one nation is the beginning of erasing India’s heterogeneity; our diverseness in languages, cultures, religions, political views and food habits will be in danger.
