NEW DELHI: The BJP on Tuesday pitched for simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha, state assemblies and local bodies and called for the same voters' list for all polls, as it told the former president Ram Nath Kovind-led committee on 'one nation, one election' that this will help realise the aspirations of a "Viksit Bharat".
"'One nation, one election' is a concept whose time has come and we need to provide a model governance structure for our youths by implementing this idea in the 'Amrit Kaal'," a BJP delegation led by party president J P Nadda said.
Frequent elections cause religious, caste and political divisions in addition to political instability and an adverse impact on the economy, the party in its representation to the committee said. It added that simultaneous polls will boost corporate and foreign investment.
