'One Nation, One Election a gift to the nation from the PM'

Nagaon (Assam): Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking about 'One Nation, One Election' and said “One Nation, One Election is a gift to the nation from the Prime Minister”.  While addressing the media, he termed the decision a landmark one.

"Today, PM Narendra Modi has taken a very landmark decision by appointing a commission to look after the issue of 'One Nation, One Election'. I am very happy that a person of stature like Ram Nath Kovind has accepted the offer. Multiple elections involve lots of money, and because every time India is in election mode, development suffers a lot."

He further stated that this decision by PM Modi will lead to a reduction in expenditure during the election and will make the country a ‘Vishwaguru’. 

"PM Modi has correctly realised and is advocating that ‘One Nation, One Election’ takes India to a different level. Expenditure will reduce, development will continue for the next 5 years, and our country will become Vishwaguru" he said.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath speaking about 'One Nation, One Election' on Friday said that in a democratic set-up, with stability of government, speedy governance is needed for development and with this point of view, 'One Nation, One Election' is a commendable attempt.
