'One Nation, One Election': Why BJP favours it and opposition doesn't

The BJP-led government in India has formed a committee under former president Ram Nath Kovind to work on a legislation for 'one nation, one election'. The committee will explore the viability of bringing a legislation to enable simultaneous elections and seek consensus from other political parties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been a proponent of this idea, arguing that continuous election cycles are a financial burden and hinder development.
