Stop this stupidity. The cost of election is not just 600 crore but the rewdi these politicians give for every election plus the black money spent in election. Stop this nuisance in the name of journalism.
First you need to stop watching stuff for free especially if you consider it nuisance. But then where else will you get stuff for free except on TH-cam.
strongly disagreed, we are already a hyper active political country. in current scenerio, PM and some good performing CMs must keep poll rallies all the time and all the parties keep acclerating the freebies in every coming election to keep competattive. please give the sytem(beaucracy and politicians) to function at least for a couple of years
It is really tiring tbh, Lok sabha chunav, then Haryana then MH, Jharkhand ab delhi fir Bihar..ese to 12 mhine bas election ki tayyari hi hoti rahegi..huge waste of time and money
Democracy is for the people People are not for democracy Democracy has to serve people Not the other way round So its better that this indian state becomes efficient
Mr D K Singh is saying that to prove his commitment to ONOE, Modi should have advanced or postponed some state and Loksabha elections. What sort of an argument is this? How can he arbitrarily do it without legislation? Journalists in this country expect the democratically elected governments to behave like dictators. Had Modi done what Mr DK Singh has suggested, this same person would have called Modi a dictator.
he can lmao. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani also advanced the Lok Sabha elections back in '04 and state govts move them around by a few months every so often. You need a legislation to set a new standard in place but moving the polls ahead or away by a few months is possible.
So many other democracies have one nation one election too where they conduct simultaneous elections for state and center, why is it only a problem in India? Don't you think it's time we moved on from this "24/7 election mode and campaigning". It will save a lot of money and time. Politicians will actually have time to focus on things that matter rather than campaigning every other day. Infrastructure projects won't be stopped due to elections. Government offices won't be closed due to elections. Even the voters won't have to go out and vote multiple times every other month, they will vote once every 5 years and be done with it. I think people who are against ONOE are underestimating the voter's intellect. This is the same voter that elected Kejriwal two times in Delhi State elections but also gave 7/7 in Lok Sabha to Modi two times in a row. Same voter voted Yogi in UP State election but also showed Modi his place in Lok Sabha UP elections. Same Voter that didn't give Modi the mandate in Maharashtra Lok Sabha but gave Fadnavis/Shinde landslide majority in State elections. Voter is smart. Even if you tell him/her to vote for Center and State simultaneously, they will be able to distinguish and vote wisely on matters. Have some trust in the PEOPLE OF INDIA.
But the central govt. These days don't listen to common people and ease their mode of living.. so elections in-between can force them to introduce schemes and policies for poor. If it's one election one poll.. in future we will end up like one election ,ultimately ending up in a dictatorial govt.
Voters aren't going out every other month for voting. You will just vote 2 times, instead of 1 time. If you are from Rajasthan, then you will vote for state election and then federal elections. So it is just 2 times versus 1 time
1)Who the hell asked modi-shah to campaign 24/7 using my tax paid money instead running the govt. ?? 2)Show me the proof that there is substantial saving in money. I don't think you watched the video fully. DK clearly says there is no proof from Kovind committee and by rough estimate India might save no more than Rs. 5 person/year (totally 600 Cr), which is not worth the price to dilute your fundamental right to vote 3)If the state govt. is unpopular, it will extend beyond 5 years due to ONOE causing more hardship Who is afraid of elections ?? This is called some democracy
In Telangana, the government was not able to do anything for 1year because of MCC. 7 months in an year with MCC does not help your argument. There is no accountability of politicians in power even now. At least it will not confuse people to bring them together. Political analysts and media will not have BREAKING news every day and you fear losing your jobs.
In US, the House representative term is two years, president 4 years and Senate is 6 years. This was done to have feedback from the population every two years and have some long term view from the Senate members who didn’t have to constantly think about election. Additionally, all elections are held consistently on first week of May and November every year. ONOE should have some mechanism to get periodic feedback from the population - maybe 25% of states go to elections every year on a fixed day. And fifth year is Lok Sabha. Local elections (panchayat and municipal) could be 2 years from the state election. Predictable and consistent elections that are grouped together will result in lower costs. The cost of elections is huge in India. It is not necessarily the cost incurred by the election commission, but the cost of election on the society. Massive amounts of money moves around. Checkpoints, violence, restrictions on movement or assembling in groups, rent seeking etc. - that is the more expensive cost.
US system also have it's own problems. But, yes, it seems better than the current Indian system. A compromise of say parliamentary elections and assembly elections separated by 2.5 years may be suggested. The term of each house still will be 5 years, but people get to feedback every 2.5 years. Current model of elections every 6 months is making governance impossible. Probably The Print shouldn't take a position on this issue because they are an interested party.
The election cost - xyz hundred crores The cost of elections - govt paralysis 1 - Tough policy decisions will be taken 2 - Sops will be limited to once in 5 years 3 - time to govern goes up 4 - voter turnout goes up 5 - voters are smart enough
The debate around one nation one election is simple and straightforward. It's accountability vs governance. Simultaneous elections saves money, resources and time. The leaders will not be distracted every now and then. They will have no reason and excuse left to remain fixated on politics and elections all the time. Policy-making will take the front seat. Bureaucracy will also have the room and space to focus on governance. Critics point out that it will tinker with the federal nature of the republic. It will put the regional parties and outfits at a disadvantage. It will also require a political consensus, legal manoeuvres and on the contrary to its stated goal requires a lot of resources to implement this plan. The proposal must be debated vigorously in parliament and legislative assemblies as it is bound to have deep ramifications on polity for a long time to come.
@DK - thanks so much for educating us in weighing all economic factors and nudging us to think more along these lines.

One election will be beneficial for modi raja. He can do jhumla for 4 years and fix all the election in one go. Andhbhakt will support raja . No democracy anymore.
1.Enormous cost of holding elections in india should be enough to consider One Nation One Election. 2.People who participate in elections are usually govt. employees, police, teachers, bureaucrats etc. Their work gets disrupted at two times in 5 years. Given the Restrictions put on during elections, they spend at least 1 year on average on election preparation. 3. Politicians exploit regional differences to gain votes. Like manufacturing hatred towards Hindi speakers in south. In North India, Caste fault-lines. It will end once Politicians have treat all voters equally. 4. Given the increased participation of women in elections, Politicians are now paying them money per month. I don't mind it. But we don't see such incentive for poor men. So, it's pretty much clear freebies like money is Given to ensure votes. One nation One election will ensure Politicians focus on policy instead of quick fixes like freebies for votes.

I wonder why narender doesn't beat the drum for demonetization anymore. That was also boasted as masterstroke by anpadh. Why will this be any different.
Really bad for voters : 1) During Vidhansabha elections the parties used to distribute money 💰 through this ONOP bill the voters won’t get the money ! 2) During the Loksabha elections the parties used to distribute money 💰 again through ONOP bill the voters may not get those money
The middle class voters are never heard. Their issues are subdued because of the existing election framework. Aadhar should be mandatory. Voter roll should be dynamic. Low urban voting should be addressed scientifically.
Missed the central point. Why should my state govt fall if the union govt falls? Or why should it get an extension beyond its term if I haven't authorised it via a fixed time period election No mention of this at all!!
Politicians are anyways arrogant and indifferent to the needs of the people. We tend to overestimate the power of voting in holding them accountable or removing them from power. Politicians are shrewd and will always find ways to either gain or retain power-whether through tactics like indiscriminate violence, as seen in West Bengal, "washing machine" politics by the BJP, or forming grand alliances like INDI Frequent elections are not making politicians more accountable. Instead, they are pushing them toward short-term strategies, such as offering freebies, rather than focusing on long-term governance.
Also talk about who started this!! If Indira and Nehru would not have derailed elected state governments this would have never happened!! You should talk about this too!!
That was an epic critical analysis on ONOE ! Awesome Some of us had really forgotten about that 'aam aadmi' who turns out to cast his/her for every election. The opposition should use this video to oppose ONOE
aam admi k liye sarkar h ,aam admipagal nhi h jo har bar voting krta rhe loss of livelihood or cost of election along with governance work wasted due to modal code of conduct , phle pata hi nhi kon kya kr rha h , abhii naya aaya h ya purana bs chl rha h ab clear to hoga ki 5 ssaaal kuch kaam nhi kia wrna there was always backup ki idhr s bahr ho gye to municipal state mai backup mai aa jenge
Positives - save money, stop policy paralysis Negatives - may lead to one party ruling all states and center with one bad guy(someone like Indira) at the top with no intermediate state elections to control. In that way negatives not just outweigh but are real danger too even though we may think the likelihood of that happening may be low.
Strongly disagree... We know how elections are hindered in investment this year. A politically charged society will have the same fate as Bihar. 5 years is not a small or many time to hinder democracy or give required time to run successfully. People are so politically aware to choose which post to whom being an odia knows it first hand.
Us holds election in every 2 years. For house term is 2 years, 4 years for president, 6 yesrs for senate. 1/ 3 of which elects in 2 years so constant election efry 2 years@@ArthurShotgun
DK, you have proved why so called political journalists are loathed & frowned upon! Your superficial & flimsy reasoning to not have One Nation One Election shows either your lack of reasoning & foresight or narrow minded political biasness. Shameful state of journalism.
The current election system is better than One nation one election because in each election people vote differently based on their issues like in Panchayat/Municipal election they vote on local issues, in State election they vote on state issue and in Lok Sabha election they vote on who can lead the nation better. We cannot juxtapose all of these together, as there will be confusion, political parties cannot present their local/state/national manifesto properly together.
very bad idea. India politicians work only 6 months before elections. lok sabha, different time with state makes at least work happens twice in 5 years. with onoe , no work will happen in 4.5 years.
What about fear of adverse public opinion which do not let reforms which are always painful in first place? Being media personnel, you are requested to always show pros and cons for such stuff
Savings ONOE will come, if each party has to spend once in 5year. All the freebies, election rally cst, bride cost to voters etc....will reduce once in 5years. Alll this money are tax payers money...if party reduces the spending cost i election...then they will reduce the looting money from tax payers....
Overly far fetched. Elections in AP and Odisha already happen alongside the Lok Sabha polls and we saw Odia and Telugu voters clearly differentiating the two elections. Also, we had ONOE in the past too and despite being essentially the only major party of the era, INC never clicked 50% of the vote. I'm not convinced that it's bad for the nation. However, I think it will be bad for the ruling party. It will be at a disadvantage because anti-incumbency sentiment from state might spill to center and vice versa. On tbe other hand, pro-incumbency might be hard to transfer.
We should start with holding all elections in one particular month - say November every year. If 3 sates go to elections they do it on same day or same week. Rest of the year is spent on governance. If that is successful, then we can switch to one election every two years for assemblies and one national election in the 5th year. In the 10 th year several states and the Loksabha will take place at the same time. See how it goes . Incrementalism is better than Big Bang failure. It is nobody’s case that voters’ choice is affected if multiple states do elections in the same month.
There is another concern SECURITY. If any country wants to attack india, what better time to do that when ALL MILITARY ARE BUSY OF MANAGING INFIGHTING. Government should analyze and prepare accordingly. I also agree that the cost of multiple election's is too high and ministers anyways doesn't care about people no matter one vote or multiple - but cost savings will be huge. But please consider what to do if one or two of our neighbors launches full fledged attacks (including nuclear) when election is ongoing in all states at once on same day.
In my view, if if the cost were to increase due to One Nation One Election, but welfare of the country as a whole with foreign policy and internal policy along state policies can be made better, then I welcome One Nation One Election. If this change were to lead to challenges, then it should be welcomed and Politicians along with the Administrative services should try focus to accept the challenges and work to sort them out. The Govt should also focus on administrative services by making them accountable to their actions in the society, such a Report Card for 1, 3 & 5 Yrs of Service. If they perform well they get rewarded else punished or remain netural if no improvement in Report Card. Something like this not exactly the same.
We should have 2 elections or maybe 3 elections. Like combine all state elections at half-way b/w national elections, or 2 sets of state elections, at one-third of the tenure. Then we can have best of both worlds. Having said that, it is not about 600 crore being saved. Elections stall development projects, and cumulatively over the year have an opportunity cost of lost development.
Completely Disagree with you. When you consider the financial costs, human resourcing costs, security costs, endless black money and in addition to the wasted time for voters, this makes much sense. As a developing country we cannot afford to waste precious resources over endless voting cycles. So measure can benefit the country in the long run. Obviously not good for media houses as they need the cyclical injections of TRP's which only elections or scandals can provide!
600 Cr savings if you have ONOE. That means for less than Rs. 5 per citizen, BJP wants you to compromise your fundamental right to vote. The right to vote out an unpopular state govt. before 5 years
@@diyar8161 no doubt we have worst Health and Education ... Unlike you I don't lean to any party .. that's the difference .. but this One Reform will have huge impacts that's for the good
@brizhnev I don't lean ti any party, it's better to be critical than blindly following wht the ruling party says just because they want to stay in power.
I watch your videos and read your articles with healthy respect. But I think that it is naive to suggest that the present chaotic election system helps voters to keep checks on the politicians. Is this the only feasible method you could think of? How about amending the RP Act to give voters the power to recall their representatives in legislature and parliament?
you are right that the response of the govt and politicians towards the citizens discontent will decrease but in a deficit economy like ours and with such a large population and low income we need to first look towards economics and politicak stability so we can attract more investment.
Hi I am not sure your logic of revalidating the government performance through repeated election was ever intention when the constitution is created. Harish Salve has given a valid logic in one of the interview that if that is intention term ( period ) of state assembly and loksbha would have been different. Also calculation you are presenting of benefit does not account project delays and cost escalation happening due to frequent code of conduct.
🎉 only when the IND alliance Givez up its modiphobia syndrome Sanity and sense of order and For proper debate one can expect IND alliance slaves to foreign ANTI India forces
ONOE doesn't bode well for democracy. Suppose a government cannot be formed for whatever reason (because of MLA poaching, horse trading, etc.). In that case, it will open the doors for the central government to rule the state via Governer for the remaining term - an idea that goes against the principles of thriving democracy. Not everything in a nation is about money!
Misinformation. The bill clearly mentions that in case of govt collapse in midterm, a caretaker govt. will be elected for the remaining term till the next elections. It's more in detail. You can read about it online.
Good for you DK to have an opinion But sorry you are not speaking about Voter more for media and opposition At max i as a voter want General election Then middterm after 2.5 years all other elections

Missed the central point.
Why should my state govt fall if the union govt falls? Or why should it get an extension beyond its term if I haven't authorised it via a fixed time period election
No mention of this at all!!
Politicians are anyways arrogant and indifferent to the needs of the people. We tend to overestimate the power of voting in holding them accountable or removing them from power. Politicians are shrewd and will always find ways to either gain or retain power-whether through tactics like indiscriminate violence, as seen in West Bengal, "washing machine" politics by the BJP, or forming grand alliances like INDI
Frequent elections are not making politicians more accountable. Instead, they are pushing them toward short-term strategies, such as offering freebies, rather than focusing on long-term governance.
one nation, one election bill was also passed in Indonesia. Indonesia is much more developed than India
Also talk about who started this!! If Indira and Nehru would not have derailed elected state governments this would have never happened!! You should talk about this too!!
That was an epic critical analysis on ONOE ! Awesome Some of us had really forgotten about that 'aam aadmi' who turns out to cast his/her for every election. The opposition should use this video to oppose ONOE
aam admi k liye sarkar h ,aam admipagal nhi h jo har bar voting krta rhe loss of livelihood or cost of election along with governance work wasted due to modal code of conduct , phle pata hi nhi kon kya kr rha h , abhii naya aaya h ya purana bs chl rha h ab clear to hoga ki 5 ssaaal kuch kaam nhi kia wrna there was always backup ki idhr s bahr ho gye to municipal state mai backup mai aa jenge
@@tarunyadav7026 - Dude, what gibberish is this ?
Good points. And, of course, the one point you left out is that ONOE will render many political commentators and psephologists jobless for years .:)
What about state elections, do the state governments show their back on us for 4 yrs. if so we can have elections in state every year 😃
Positives - save money, stop policy paralysis
Negatives - may lead to one party ruling all states and center with one bad guy(someone like Indira) at the top with no intermediate state elections to control.
In that way negatives not just outweigh but are real danger too even though we may think the likelihood of that happening may be low.
Don't care. Will support One Nation One Election anyway.
Strongly disagree...
We know how elections are hindered in investment this year. A politically charged society will have the same fate as Bihar.
5 years is not a small or many time to hinder democracy or give required time to run successfully.
People are so politically aware to choose which post to whom being an odia knows it first hand.
America also holds simultaneous elections so there is democracy in there
Yea funny how democracy is only in danger in India but not when other democracies also follow the same 😂
Us holds election in every 2 years. For house term is 2 years, 4 years for president, 6 yesrs for senate. 1/ 3 of which elects in 2 years so constant election efry 2 years@@ArthurShotgun
Save money and put time for Governance
DK, you have proved why so called political journalists are loathed & frowned upon! Your superficial & flimsy reasoning to not have One Nation One Election shows either your lack of reasoning & foresight or narrow minded political biasness. Shameful state of journalism.
The current election system is better than One nation one election because in each election people vote differently based on their issues like in Panchayat/Municipal election they vote on local issues, in State election they vote on state issue and in Lok Sabha election they vote on who can lead the nation better. We cannot juxtapose all of these together, as there will be confusion, political parties cannot present their local/state/national manifesto properly together.
very bad idea. India politicians work only 6 months before elections. lok sabha, different time with state makes at least work happens twice in 5 years. with onoe , no work will happen in 4.5 years.
Even APJ Abdul Kalam was a strong proponent of ONOE
What were his arguments in favour of it?
@Peace_keeper112 check it out online
Yeah, and Ratan Tata was also a strong proponent of ONOE 😂
@@Peace_keeper112listen to his speech he's right.
What about fear of adverse public opinion which do not let reforms which are always painful in first place?
Being media personnel, you are requested to always show pros and cons for such stuff
Savings ONOE will come, if each party has to spend once in 5year. All the freebies, election rally cst, bride cost to voters etc....will reduce once in 5years. Alll this money are tax payers money...if party reduces the spending cost i election...then they will reduce the looting money from tax payers....
Overly far fetched. Elections in AP and Odisha already happen alongside the Lok Sabha polls and we saw Odia and Telugu voters clearly differentiating the two elections. Also, we had ONOE in the past too and despite being essentially the only major party of the era, INC never clicked 50% of the vote.
I'm not convinced that it's bad for the nation. However, I think it will be bad for the ruling party. It will be at a disadvantage because anti-incumbency sentiment from state might spill to center and vice versa. On tbe other hand, pro-incumbency might be hard to transfer.
We should start with holding all elections in one particular month - say November every year. If 3 sates go to elections they do it on same day or same week. Rest of the year is spent on governance.
If that is successful, then we can switch to one election every two years for assemblies and one national election in the 5th year. In the 10 th year several states and the Loksabha will take place at the same time. See how it goes . Incrementalism is better than Big Bang failure. It is nobody’s case that voters’ choice is affected if multiple states do elections in the same month.
What is Modi phobia after Varanasi voters have shown reduction in support, whole Modi guarantee was rejected by people in last election??
What about hayana and Maharashtra victory?!
Do you have an issue with the ruling party for doing it or for not doing it fast enough 😂😂 You can't have it both ways.
There is another concern SECURITY. If any country wants to attack india, what better time to do that when ALL MILITARY ARE BUSY OF MANAGING INFIGHTING.
Government should analyze and prepare accordingly.
I also agree that the cost of multiple election's is too high and ministers anyways doesn't care about people no matter one vote or multiple - but cost savings will be huge. But please consider what to do if one or two of our neighbors launches full fledged attacks (including nuclear) when election is ongoing in all states at once on same day.
In my view, if if the cost were to increase due to One Nation One Election, but welfare of the country as a whole with foreign policy and internal policy along state policies can be made better, then I welcome One Nation One Election. If this change were to lead to challenges, then it should be welcomed and Politicians along with the Administrative services should try focus to accept the challenges and work to sort them out.
The Govt should also focus on administrative services by making them accountable to their actions in the society, such a Report Card for 1, 3 & 5 Yrs of Service. If they perform well they get rewarded else punished or remain netural if no improvement in Report Card. Something like this not exactly the same.
Abi bhi kar sakthe hai kyun nahi kara.
We should have 2 elections or maybe 3 elections. Like combine all state elections at half-way b/w national elections, or 2 sets of state elections, at one-third of the tenure. Then we can have best of both worlds.
Having said that, it is not about 600 crore being saved. Elections stall development projects, and cumulatively over the year have an opportunity cost of lost development.
Completely Disagree with you. When you consider the financial costs, human resourcing costs, security costs, endless black money and in addition to the wasted time for voters, this makes much sense. As a developing country we cannot afford to waste precious resources over endless voting cycles. So measure can benefit the country in the long run. Obviously not good for media houses as they need the cyclical injections of TRP's which only elections or scandals can provide!
For Congress Rahul Gandhi bad news for hold nation good news one nation one election will save cost save time
600 Cr savings if you have ONOE. That means for less than Rs. 5 per citizen, BJP wants you to compromise your fundamental right to vote. The right to vote out an unpopular state govt. before 5 years
I will support ONOP if only panchayat elections and other local body elections are separated.
Journos will go unemployed 😅😅
It is not good for voters and make them less accountable.
As if now they are accountable and we are having the best law and order , Health and Education 😂😂😂
@brizhnev so we have worst health and education it will further worsen if osoe happen
@@diyar8161 no doubt we have worst Health and Education ... Unlike you I don't lean to any party .. that's the difference .. but this One Reform will have huge impacts that's for the good
@brizhnev I mean development abhi bhi ho saktha hai , one nation one election karke hi development la sakthe hai kya. Wht stupid logic is this.
@brizhnev I don't lean ti any party, it's better to be critical than blindly following wht the ruling party says just because they want to stay in power.
ONOE is bad idea for useless political pundits & journalists😂😂
I watch your videos and read your articles with healthy respect. But I think that it is naive to suggest that the present chaotic election system helps voters to keep checks on the politicians. Is this the only feasible method you could think of? How about amending the RP Act to give voters the power to recall their representatives in legislature and parliament?
Waiting for next video sir
you are right that the response of the govt and politicians towards the citizens discontent will decrease but in a deficit economy like ours and with such a large population and low income we need to first look towards economics and politicak stability so we can attract more investment.
Journalists like this guy will become unemployed😂
Ok andhbhakt 😂
@@kartikmore9228Your welcome darbari chamche 😂
Excellent arguments presented by DKS against another tughlaqi idea by the current government.
Hi I am not sure your logic of revalidating the government performance through repeated election was ever intention when the constitution is created. Harish Salve has given a valid logic in one of the interview that if that is intention term ( period ) of state assembly and loksbha would have been different. Also calculation you are presenting of benefit does not account project delays and cost escalation happening due to frequent code of conduct.
disagree with DK for the first time....also, 2034 is too damn far this is not done.., it should be implemented 2029
Good to see DK taking clear standing on this.
This One Nation one election will be beneficial only for the ruling parties and not for people.
Nope
@@the_class_apart any points or just like that?
I like the idea of one election
🎉 only when the IND alliance
Givez up its modiphobia syndrome
Sanity and sense of order and
For proper debate one can expect
IND alliance slaves to foreign
ANTI India forces
I agree
Exactly state elections can be good political incentive and people are differentiate state and lok sabha election
Modi will be at helm in 2034 too 😂
ONOE doesn't bode well for democracy. Suppose a government cannot be formed for whatever reason (because of MLA poaching, horse trading, etc.). In that case, it will open the doors for the central government to rule the state via Governer for the remaining term - an idea that goes against the principles of thriving democracy. Not everything in a nation is about money!
Misinformation. The bill clearly mentions that in case of govt collapse in midterm, a caretaker govt. will be elected for the remaining term till the next elections. It's more in detail. You can read about it online.
Good for you DK to have an opinion
But sorry you are not speaking about Voter more for media and opposition
At max i as a voter want
General election
Then middterm after 2.5 years all other elections
His problem is he will have less job
Informative. Thank you.
You are always speaking against the government. DK, this move saves so much money and manpower apart from valuable time. You are always trying to criticise the government by the hair. I shall be watching you and will keep full note of your behaviour towards the other side. It's people like you who make me not want to pay to The print
So Sir - you believe politicians have to come often for votes. Please review your logic please
This idea is pro congress and we know where from you are coming.
Now the FM has a problem with election expenditure..considering she doesnt have the money to contest 😂
