'PM'S ONE NATION, ONE ELECTION VISION IS ABOUT FOSTERING UNITY'

In a powerful Independence Day speech from the historic Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid out his ambitious vision for a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) by 2047. Notably, the Prime Minister also emphasised the importance of the ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative on this significant day.

Prime Minister Modi affirmed that implementing ‘One Nation, One Election,’ a key promise made by the BJP in its election manifesto, is a “commitment” of his government. During an interview with ANI, Modi mentioned that a committee, led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has been tasked with drafting a report on the initiative. He highlighted the positive and innovative suggestions the committee has received, reflecting widespread support and enthusiasm for streamlining the electoral process across the nation.
