Guru Prakash, while inviting people to join the webinars said, "As PM Modi has said that the way elections in India have been orgsed over the last seventy years, a lot of black money is used and a lot of resources are wasted. Every year some elections take place and now discussion on electoral reform is taking place. Former president Pranab Mukherjee also supported the theory of one nation one election. Discussion between think tanks is also taking place on the issue."
"On many occasions, PM Modi has said that one nation one election is the need of India. Earlier, he had suggested that single voters' list should be brought in place for Lok Sabha, Assembly and Panchayat polls. Separate lists are a waste of resources," Prakash added.
