One nation, one election need for India: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that one nation, one election is not a matter of debate only, but this is the need for India.

Addressing the All India Presiding Officers during the celebrations of Constitution Day, PM Modi suggested that single voters' list should brought in place for Lok Sabha, assembly and panchayat polls. "Separate lists are waste of resources," he said.

Elections are held at different places every few months, the impact it has on development works is known to all. Therefore, it is a must to have deep study and deliberation on 'One Nation, One Election'," Modi said.
