New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that ‘One Nation One Election’ is linked to the future of youth. There should be discussion across the country and urged people to become part of the debate in large numbers, saying there should be a wide discussion so that the country can move in the right direction.

He while addressing the annual NCC PM rally at Cariappa Parade Ground, referred to the bill on ‘One Nation, One Election’, which is being examined by a Joint Parliamentary Committee, and said an important debate is going on in the country and the issue is linked to the future of the country’s youth.

He said a lot of damage has been caused as the pattern of simultaneous polls for assembly and Lok Sabha polls was “broken”.

“Today, India holds the biggest elections in the world. But in India, elections keep happening after every few months. For a very long time after Independence, Lok Sabha and Vidhaan Sabha elections used to be held together. But then this pattern was broken which caused a lot of damage to the country… A crucial debate is going on in the country, people are giving their views and this is important in a democracy… This debate is ‘One Nation One Election.’ I request the people of the country to become a part of this debate in large numbers… There should be a discussion across the country so that the country can move in the right direction,” he said.

The Prime Minister said mostly teachers are deployed for election duties and it impacts studies and governance also gets impacted.

The Prime Minister urged the youth including NCC cadets, MyBharat volunteers and NSS members to be part of the debate, take part in large numbers and lead it.
