One Nation One Election The way has now been cleared to conduct all elections in the country including Lok Sabha and Assembly elections simultaneously. Modi Cabinet has approved the 'One Nation One Election' bill today. The government can present this bill in the Parliament next week. Earlier, the Cabinet had approved the report prepared on this by the Ram Nath Kovind Committee. 

The Modi government can present this bill in the Parliament next week. According to news agency ANI, the Modi cabinet has approved the bill and wants to build a consensus on the bill. The government can send it to the Joint Parliamentary Committee or JPC for a comprehensive discussion on the bill.
The bill aims to hold simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections along with urban body and panchayat elections within 100 days.

What are the benefits of one nation one election?
The government says that holding simultaneous elections will save money and time. 

If the administrative system is in order, there will be no tension among the security forces also. 
With more time available for election campaigning, more development work will also be possible.
At the same time, due to election duty, there are problems in government work also. 

Earlier, former President of India Ram Nath Kovind said that the central government should build a consensus on the 'One Nation, One Election' initiative. He stressed that this issue is beyond political interests and serves the entire country.

Speaking to the media, Kovind, who chaired a committee on this issue, said, "The central government will have to build a consensus. This issue is not in the interest of any party but in the interest of the entire country. This will bring a big change, this is not my opinion but the opinion of economists, who believe that after its implementation, the country's GDP will increase by 1 to 1.5 percent.

Let us tell you that these recommendations were outlined in the report of a high-level committee headed by former President Kovind. After the approval of the Cabinet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised this decision and called it an important step towards enhancing India's democracy.
