Talking to PTI on Friday, CM Sawant said, “I welcome ‘one nation, one election’. It is a historic decision taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has taken several historic decisions, including the abrogation of Article 370.” “Frequently-held elections result in the breakdown of governance due to the model code of conduct.
But holding elections pan-India at one time for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies will save the nation from frequently imposed code of conduct,” he said. The move is also cost-efficient, he said.
“Conducting elections once in five years will help in smooth administrative decisions,” he added. “The voter turnout will increase if elections are conducted once every five years.
‘One nation, one election’ will contribute towards the country’s development,” the chief minister said.
