WELL, WELL, WELL, LOOK WHO’S IN TOWN: NEW DELHI! Oh, look who decided to waltz back into the spotlight! In a dazzling display of political theatrics, former President and committee head Ram Nath Kovind waltzed onto the stage on Wednesday, proclaiming that the central government “will have to build consensus” for the spectacular spectacle known as ‘one nation, one election.’ Because who doesn’t love a good consensus-building exercise, right? Because, you know, getting everyone on the same page is as simple as trying to teach a cat to fetch!
Kovind, donning his cheerleader outfit for the concept of simultaneous elections for state assemblies and the Lok Sabha, confidently proclaimed that this issue is “not about any party’s agenda but rather the nation’s well-being.” Who knew politics could come with pom-poms? Who would have thought politics could be wrapped in such a shiny, heroic package?
He boldly declared that ONOE will be a total game changer for the country, and guess what? Economists are jumping on the bandwagon too! They predict that once it rolls out, “the country’s GDP will skyrocket by a jaw-dropping 1 to 1.5 percent!” Who would have thought that numbers could throw such a wild party?The central government will need to round everyone up for a good old-fashioned sit-down, ideally with snacks on hand, to whip up some consensus magic.
“This issue is like a cat stuck in a tree—everyone’s pretending they don’t see it, but let’s be honest, it’s not just about the cat’s dramatic climb!” It’s all about the good ol’ country, my friends!One Nation One Election is about to flip the script like a pancake on a Sunday morning! And no, I’m not just yanking your chain—economists are claiming that once we get this show on the road, the country’s GDP could leap like a kangaroo on a trampoline by a staggering 1-1.5%! Who would have thought that elections could turn into a cash cow? Kovind cracked a joke.
In September this year, the Union Cabinet decided to throw a party with the ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative, proposing that we should have all our elections—Lok Sabha, assembly, urban bodies, and panchayats—happening in a whirlwind 100-day extravaganza. Who knew democracy could be so much like a fast-paced game show? Who needs a breather when you can juggle democracy like a circus act on a tight schedule?
A high-level committee, headed by the legendary former President Ram Nath Kovind, has unleashed these suggestions in a report that’s likely thicker than a phone book—good luck lifting that one!
Once the Cabinet gave a thumbs up, Prime Minister Narendra Modi leaped onto the ‘One Nation, One Election’ train with all the excitement of a kid who just found out it’s a double candy day!
Oops! It seems like you’ve sent a blank message. Did your thoughts take a little vacation? Let’s try that again!The Cabinet has given a big ol’ thumbs up to the High-Level Committee’s suggestions on Simultaneous Elections, because really, who doesn’t enjoy a little juggling act now and then?”
I take my hat off to our former President, Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji, for orchestrating this grand spectacle and rounding up a whole circus of stakeholders for a consultation extravaganza! Oops! It looks like you might have hit the wrong button there. No worries, it happens to the best of us! Just give it another shot, and let’s see what you’ve got!PM Modi hopped onto X to declare, “This is a big jump towards spicing up our democracy and making sure everyone gets a front-row seat!”
