Tricks that bad governments play

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.

Elections

At least to start with, State and Center can be held together, or all elections in State should be held together.
It will save time, money, energy and will be speeding growth.
