Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the government's ambitious plan of One Nation, One Election, or simultaneous polls, was directly linked to the future of India's youth, urging them to come forward in large numbers to steer the ongoing debate around it so that the country can move in the right direction.
NEW DELHI:
Modi highlighted the flip side of frequent elections in the country, saying it creates problems in governance, works are hindered, and the country has had to suffer because of it.
"A key issue linked to the future of India's youth is the country's electoral system," he said on Monday, addressing the customary National Cadet Corps (NCC) rally at the Cariappa parade ground in Delhi Cantt. The rally is held every year after the Republic Day parade.
Those present included defence minister Rajnath Singh, chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan, army chief General Upendra Dwivedi, navy chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi, chief of the air staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and defence secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh.
