With elections around the corner, most political parties resort to gimmicks to win or destroy the reputation of other parties. They formulate policies only those which would earn an advantage for the vote bank and in turn, help in elections. For instance, road construction and infrastructure development seem to occur only when elections are around the corner.

Most importantly, people are tired of this kind of appeasement. With the implementation of One India One Election, it will discourage politicians to act in this manner and focus on governance.

Disadvantages of One India One Election

If in India a single election has taken place and a single party elected and chosen Pary doesn’t work effectively then people will not have any options to exercise their rights and change the government.
It is really difficult to implement One Indian One Election concept in a big country like India.

When both the elections are clubbed, national issues may dominate over state issues and dictate the mood of both state and national votes. State or local issues may take a back seat, which would otherwise be crucial.
