Opposition does not want to see 'One Nation, One Election' implemented: AK Sharma

Gorakhpur, Apr 27 (UNI) Urban Development and Energy Minister of Uttar Pradesh AK Sharma on Sunday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to implement the law of One Nation One Election in the entire country in the national interest and in the interest of the countrymen, but the opposition does not want to see it get implemented.
Addressing the Prabuddh Varg Sammelan organised on One Nation One Election, the Minister said that the system of one nation one election was in force in India till 1967. "From 1995 to 2025, elections are being held every year somewhere in the country. Assembly elections were held in the state in 2022 and local body elections in 2023," he said.
He said that development work gets hampered due to separate elections. "Due to the government machinery being engaged in elections for a long time, development work is not completed on time and policy decisions are also affected. Not only this, the interest of voters is also decreasing in the current democratic system due to frequent elections," he said.
