‘One Nation, One Election’ will bring stability, says Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister; Samajwadi Party calls it a malicious attempt to establish monarchy

The Hindu  

As the Union Government formed a committee to deliberate on the idea of “One Nation, One Election”, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said the step would ensure ‘prosperity’ and the ‘stability’ of democracy. Mr. Adityanath added that it was necessary for a State like Uttar Pradesh to conduct Parliamentary, Assembly, and all other elections simultaneously as frequent polls hindered developmental work. The State’s principal Opposition party, the Samajwadi Party, termed the idea of One Nation-One Election as anti-constitutional and a malicious attempt to establish monarchy. “One Nation-One Election is anti-constitutional, it is a malicious attempt by the government to kill democracy and establish monarchy.
