Jammu, December 14: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta has extended his unequivocal support to the concept of One Nation, One Election, highlighting it as a transformative step towards a streamlined and efficient democratic process. He asserted that this initiative, championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reflects a vision to strengthen the foundation of Indian democracy while ensuring economic prudence and administrative efficiency.
In a statement issued here today, the BJP stalwart emphasized that holding simultaneous elections across the country would eliminate the recurring cycle of electioneering, which often hampers governance and development. He pointed out that frequent elections burden the exchequer and disrupt public life due to the extensive deployment of manpower and resources. “The concept of One Nation, One Election is not just about saving money; it’s about providing stability and consistency in governance,” he stated.
Kavinder further noted that simultaneous elections would allow governments at both central and state levels to focus on long-term planning and execution of developmental schemes, rather than being perpetually caught in election mode. “Frequent elections result in the imposition of Model Code of Conduct, which stalls important welfare initiatives and developmental works. With One Nation, One Election, this hindrance will be eliminated, ensuring seamless governance,” he remarked.
Lauding PM Modi’s foresight, Kavinder Gupta said this reform aligns with the aspirations of a modern India that seeks efficiency and coherence in its democratic processes. He also urged all political parties to rise above partisan considerations and collaborate on making this vision a reality.
The former Deputy Chief Minister reiterated that the BJP remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering reforms that benefit the people of India. He appealed to citizens to support this initiative, which, he asserted, would lead to a more vibrant and robust democracy.
“India is at the cusp of transformative change, and One Nation, One Election will be a monumental step in our journey towards becoming a global superpower,” he added.
