New Delhi [India], September 18 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday hailed the Union Cabinet’s decision concerning ‘One Nation, One Election’, saying it reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong will to bolster democracy “through clean elections and accelerate growth through more productive allocation of resources”.
He said in a post on X that Bharat has been witnessing transformative reforms under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi.
“Today, in this direction, Bharat takes a giant stride towards landmark electoral reforms with the Union Cabinet accepting the recommendations of the High-Level Committee on One Nation, One Election,” Amit Shah said.
“This reflects Modi Ji’s iron will to bolster our democracy through clean and financially efficient elections and accelerate economic growth through more productive allocation of resources,” he added.
Earlier today, the Cabinet approved ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, which proposes simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections, with urban body and panchayat polls to be held within 100 days.
The High-level Committee on Simultaneous Elections, constituted under the Chairmanship of former President Ram Nath Kovind, submitted its report to President Droupadi Murmu earlier this year.
The government said that the Report, comprising 18,626 pages, is an outcome of extensive consultations with stakeholders, experts and research work of 191 days, since its constitution on September 2, 2023. (ANI)
