Patna, Dec 13 (UNI) Founder of "Jan Suraaj " Prashant Kishor popularly known as PK on Friday favoured 'one nation one election' proposed by the Centre, saying it will help in checking wastage of time and money of both the people and the government.
Kishor said that one nation one election would be a good step of the government in checking wastage of money of state exchequer and the public. It would also help in saving time of the people and also of the government, he noted.
" As per my assessment and experience, one fourth population of the country remain engaged in casting votes and other election works every year ", PK said, adding, that entire elections of the country could be completed in one or two phases. Success of one nation one election depended on intention of the government, he cautioned.
"If intention of the government is clear, then one nation one election will serve its purpose ", Kishor said and added that whole purpose would stand defeated if intention of the government was to damage one section of the country. Switch over period to one nation one election should be four to five years as such a big change could not be possible in one stroke, he pointed out.
