Simultaneous polls are an imperative for India

Hindustan Times  

Following the Union Cabinet’s approval, the introduction in Parliament of amendment bills to usher in simultaneous elections is a significant moment for India’s storied parliamentary democracy. When implemented, “one nation, one election” will reclaim the sanctity and spirit of our Constitution, as bequeathed by the creators of our foundational document, in the context of simultaneous elections. By and large, the first three elections to the Lok Sabha, from 1952 to 1967, witnessed a synchronised cycle of simultaneous elections along with various State assemblies. The Congress party’s premature dismissal of democratically elected state governments shattered the synchronous cycle of simultaneous elections, which had prevailed since 1952. When the high-level committee constituted by the government and headed by former president Ram Nath Kovind consulted various stakeholders, 32 political parties supported simultaneous elections, many even breaking ranks within the Opposition.
