Modi asserted that no power in the world can restore Article 370 in Jammu-Kashmir and that Pakistan’s agenda will not be implemented in the state. In his speech, Modi discussed the changing landscape of Jammu-Kashmir, noting that visiting Lal Chowk and hoisting the tricolor was once a risky endeavor, but the situation has now completely transformed. He highlighted that Srinagar’s markets now showcase the vibrancy of both Eid and Diwali, and Lal Chowk is bustling with activity well into the evening. The region is also witnessing record numbers of tourists.

Modi also reassured that Jammu-Kashmir will be granted statehood again. He reiterated this promise in Parliament and mentioned that the state would regain its status. He criticized Congress and NC, stating that Pakistan has exposed these parties as their agendas align with Pakistan’s. The Prime Minister remarked that following the abrogation of Article 370, terrorism and separatism have weakened. He also referenced the recent attack on devotees and paid tribute to martyr Vijay Kumar. Modi emphasized that Jammu-Kashmir is progressing towards lasting peace and will be completely free of terrorism.

Addressing the people of Reasi and Udhampur, Modi accused Congress, NC, and PDP of stalling the file for the construction of the Chenab Bridge. He noted that this bridge, approved during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government, has now become a significant facility and attraction. Attacking Congress further, Modi claimed the party is engaged in vote-bank politics and is undermining the Dogra heritage. He labeled the Congress royal family as corrupt and described it as the root of corruption in India. Modi also criticized a member of the Congress royal family for making derogatory remarks about deities abroad.

Modi praised BJP’s achievements, stating that the party has eliminated decades-old discrimination and has worked to honor Jammu-Kashmir’s faith and culture. He criticized Congress for continually jeopardizing faith and culture for electoral gains.

‘One Nation, One Election’, Modi Government Approves Proposal, Bill to be Presented in Winter Session https://nacionstory.com/2024/09/18/one-nation-one-election-modi-government-approves-proposal-bill-to-be-presented-in-winter-session/ https://nacionstory.com/2024/09/18/one-nation-one-election-modi-government-approves-proposal-bill-to-be-presented-in-winter-session/#respond Wed, 18 Sep 2024 10:53:15 +0000 https://nacionstory.com/?p=2090 A significant step has been taken towards conducting Lok Sabha and Assembly elections simultaneously in the country. The Modi Cabinet has approved the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal, based on the report of the committee chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind. This proposal will now be presented in the form of a bill during the winter session of Parliament.

The Modi government has been working on ‘One Nation, One Election’ for a long time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had discussed this issue on several occasions during his previous term. Recently, on the completion of 100 days of the NDA government, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reiterated the commitment to this resolution. Shah made it clear that the government is fully committed to this issue and is preparing to bring it to Parliament.

Prime Minister Modi also mentioned ‘One Nation, One Election’ in his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort on August 15. He stated that frequent elections are hindering the country’s progress. Due to the repeated electoral processes, there are delays in administrative work and development projects, which could be mitigated by conducting elections simultaneously.

For ‘One Nation, One Election,’ the committee chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind submitted its report to President Droupadi Murmu on March 14 of this year. The report is quite extensive, comprising a total of 18,626 pages. This report delves deeply into the possibilities, challenges, and benefits of conducting simultaneous elections across the country.

‘One Nation, One Election’ means conducting Lok Sabha and all state Assembly elections simultaneously across the country. Currently, Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are held at different times, leading to frequent electoral processes which consume time and resources. The aim of this proposal is to conduct all elections together, thereby saving the country’s resources and time and avoiding interruptions in development work.

Now that the Modi Cabinet has approved the proposal, the NDA government will present it as a bill in the winter session of Parliament. It will be interesting to see the discussions on this in Parliament and how quickly it can be turned into law.

‘One Nation, One Election’, A Major Change in India’s Electoral System? https://nacionstory.com/2024/09/16/one-nation-one-election-a-major-change-in-indias-electoral-system/ https://nacionstory.com/2024/09/16/one-nation-one-election-a-major-change-in-indias-electoral-system/#respond Mon, 16 Sep 2024 07:45:12 +0000 https://nacionstory.com/?p=2079 ‘One Nation, One Election’ is one of the key agendas of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The main objective of this idea is to hold elections for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies simultaneously. The government is swiftly working in this direction, and there is speculation that the Modi government might introduce the ‘One Nation, One Election’ bill during its current term (Modi 3.0). This would mean that all elections across the country would be held at the same time, simplifying the process of holding elections frequently.

The Modi government currently relies on the support of its allies. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has the backing of major parties like JDU (Janata Dal-United) and TDP (Telugu Desam Party). These parties are part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and are supporting the government’s idea of ‘One Nation, One Election.’ It is being reported that all parties within the NDA are in favor of this concept and are ready for its implementation.

This idea is not just a government agenda but has been presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the public and other political parties multiple times. The BJP’s 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto also promised ‘One Nation, One Election.’ In his Independence Day speech this year, PM Modi urged political parties to come together in this direction. He said, “The demand of the time is that we achieve the resolution of ‘One Nation, One Election.'” It is expected that this will make the election process simpler and more time-bound.

The government formed a committee to study and deliberate on this issue, chaired by former President Ram Nath Kovind. The committee recently submitted its report to the government. According to the report, the committee recommended that the Lok Sabha and state assembly elections should be held together first. Following that, local body elections should be held within 100 days, so that elections at all levels can be completed within a fixed timeframe.

The primary aim of ‘One Nation, One Election’ is to reduce the frequency of elections and save resources. Frequent elections place a financial and administrative burden on both the government and the public. Holding elections simultaneously would lower administrative costs and reduce disruptions to developmental projects. However, there are arguments against this proposal. Opposition parties argue that it could harm regional parties and local issues might get overshadowed by national issues. Additionally, there are concerns that holding simultaneous elections could affect the parliamentary and democratic process.
