New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today pushed for holding Lok Sabha and assembly elections simultaneously, saying it will save a lot of time and money.
In an interview to Zee News, he said like festivals, the
dates for polls should be fixed so that the politicians and
the bureaucracy are not involved in the exercise of
campaigning and holding elections throughout the year.
He also batted for having a single electoral roll for Lok
Sabha, assembly and local body polls.

To a question, he said the agenda of simultaneous polls
does not belong to the BJP or Modi, but everyone must come
together to brainstorm.
