BJP's strong pitch for 'One Nation, One Poll', submits views to Kovind Panel

The BJP has submitted its views to former President Ram Nath Kovind-led committee on 'one nation, one election', and called for the same voters' list for all polls. BJP's response was submitted by party chief JP Nadda along with Union minister Bhupender Yadav and the party's election cell head Om Pathak.

Nadda said they proposed that if holding all the three-tier polls together was not possible immediately, then Lok Sabha and assembly elections could be held together first. But in the long run, local body polls should also be held alongside the Lok Sabha and assembly elections, or it will defeat the purpose due to the frequent imposition of the Model Code of Conduct, he said.
