Only if we can RECALL elected govt
by Chaitanya on May 11, 2018 06:38 PM

Simultaneous elections is VERY BAD for people, and extremely convenient for bad govts.

Today, govts need to BEHAVE PROPERLY all through the year each year, because assembly elections are due in some state or the other every year.

If simultaneous elections are introduced, the govts will get too much UNINTERRUPTED MISCHIEF TIME of 5 years.

With UNINTERRUPTED MISCHIEF TIME, govts will play havoc with people, hoping that people will forgive and forget by the time of the next election.

For example, with UNINTERRUPTED MISCHIEF TIME, bad govts will introduce crazy hare-brained schemes like:

--Demonetisation
--Galloping petrol prices
--Wanton political meddling with CBI cases
--Beef ban

However, WE CAN HAVE simultaneous elections, BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION TO RECALL a non-performing elected govt.

Simultaneous election are not useful for India
by vivek srivastava on May 08, 2018 04:38 PM

Knowing the politicians dedication for development of India Vs Their own financial development, Public of India must keep final control with us and public of India have only Voting Right to stop anarchy of politicians.
Parliament is not directly accountable for development of states , so there is no evident relation that state and Parliament elections needed at one time. It is problem of only national parties who wish to save their eand then wish to have complete control on country. How it will ensure that power will be not misused by ruling party if they are present everywhere and there is no strong opposition party available to ask right questions.
Present system of elections at different time compels politicians to be on their toe and perform otherwise they get taste of defeat as a signal of poor performance, present system is like continuous evaluation process for politicians performance by public and it is helping in controlling corruption and political anarchy in country.

Simultaneous elections
by vivek vadke on May 08, 2018 04:08 PM

One way out would be to have some state elections with the parliamentary electons, and the rest state elections at half-term, say, 2 1/2 years after the parliamentary elections. While this will substantially address the concerns of repetitive expenditures and effect of frequent election-mode on governance, it will also leave a window to guage publc mood on policies at half term
