Elections to the Lok Sabha with Assembly: Modi master plan

The state government has taken serious consideration for the Lok Sabha polls in 2019, with the assembly elections going on in several states when elections are slowly rising. According to top sources, the state elections will be held in November and December in many states and the government is considering the 2019 general elections to be merged wi

Behind the scenes there are already discussions and negotiations, which are collecting advice and opinions about pros and cons. The main objective of the assembly elections in various states is to avoid huge financial burden from the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. It also has the idea of ​​making the polls easier for the Lok Sabha with the assembly and simplifying voting processes.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is said to have shown green signal to this idea. If this idea works, legislative rules must be made to allow voting within six months from the date of the Central Election. It can be implemented by the Election Commission and there is no need for any amendment to the constitution. Former top secretary of the Lok Sabha Subhash C. Kashyap and the group of secretaries are already engaged in serious thinking and debate on this issue.

However, here is a question about how many states agree to vote for the Lok Sabha with assembly elections. And making political consensus across the country is a big challenge. It is suggested that elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram and Rajasthan will be held in the Lok Sabha elections held in 2019. The BJP or BJP allies are ruling in other states except Mizoram. Another alternative is that if political parties agree on the Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha states, the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections can be considered.
