NEW DELHI
The BJP on Tuesday batted for simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha, state Assemblies and local bodies with the same voter list for all three. A presentation was made before a High-Level Committee (HLC) formed to look into the feasibility of the “One Nation, One Election” idea. The panel is headed by former president of India, Ram Nath Kovind.
In the BJP’s eight-page letter and in the party president J.P. Nadda’s briefing to the media, it was suggested that simultaneous polls, with a common voter list were desirable and a law based on consensus should be the goal. The BJP wants that the law should be amended to hold simultaneous polls, Mr Nadda said.
