One nation one election conviction for consistent optimum governance: Arun
Jammu, April 02: BJP believes with firm conviction that optimum and consistent good governance in India can only be achieved with clear focus to progress without any disruption in the working of governments.
This is possible with complete utilization of governance machinery in a fixed time frame of governments by conducting simultaneous elections for Centre and states.
This was stated by Arun Gupta, Spokesperson, J&K BJP while he, accompanied by Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Media Incharge, J&K BJP, addressed a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
“India got independent in 1947 and with the introduction of representation of people acts 1950-51 in India, four general elections alongwith state assemblies were conducted simultaneously in 1952, 1957, 1962 and 1967. Premature dissolution of Lok Sabha on 7 occasions and premature dissolution of legislative assembly on various occasions coupled with personal interest of leaders disturbed this electoral process”, said Arun Gupta.
Arun Gupta said that India loses precious time and money in managing elections, where political parties in governance, their leaders, legislators and central/state governments keep focusing their efforts on preparing for upcoming elections, rather than prioritizing good optimum consistent governance for the growth and welfare of its citizens.
“As a result, even after 67 years of continued governance in the country from 1947 India remained a fragile 5 economy in the world, while small countries progressed and improved their economy in that period. Its only in 2014, when BJP came in power, the graph of economy improved and reached upto top 5 economy,” said Arun Gupta.
The gravity of the issue is very important to understand that if governments are made to work without any disruptions for their mandated tenures, accountability by citizens becomes much more effective.
In conducting elections spread over five years, besides wasting precious time, the loss of human resources quality time and huge financial loss the country has to face is not conducive for growth and results are quite evident in being fragile 5 economies in the world.
The citizens of the country understand the need to preserve five important resources called TEGBA, which are very important for any democratic country to improve its economy and GDP.
TEGBA defines time, economy, governance brain-drain and accountability, which citizens of India are eagerly looking to implement and BJP is committed with conviction to adopt this in India, giving fair opportunity to all the citizens and especially the young generation of the country who look for their employability and growth. The urge of youth to leave the country needs to be addressed, stopping brain-drain from country. Our brain has been utilized very effectively by many nations and their needs to be controlled.
The resources of India have to be utilized in the most optimum manner and this will become possible if TEGBA concept is understood in totality and election country are conducted simultaneously for Centre and state.
India has to reach the third top economy and then continue moving to the top economy in the world. This will be achieved with radical charges and understand TEGBA concept for overall growth and sustainability.
One election is important for all states and the general election to achieve all one needed programme in future.
