  • ‘Galat niyat se kiya jaa raha hai…,’ Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishore on On One Nation One Election

    Gaya (Bihar): Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishore spoke on ‘On One Nation One Election’ and said it’s good but it’s being implemented with wrong intentions. He said, “We have said earlier that if One Nation One Election is done with the right intention, then there is no mistake in it. After independence, the One Nation One Election was in place till 1965, but if it is being done with the intention that when the situation is in our favor then quickly conduct all the elections together…On one hand, you are talking of One Nation One Election and on the other hand, you are dividing a small state Jharkhand into 4 parts and conducting elections so that there is time for campaigning. These two things cannot go together.”
