Yogendra Yadav writes: One Nation One Election is a desire to cut down clutter of democratic politics

Those who dominate India’s social and economic life are increasingly impatient with its messy politics. They can’t do away with elections altogether, but the next best thing is to limit this mess. So that the business of governance can be carried out undisturbed for four years and nine months. The Election Commission has the powers to club all the assembly elections falling within six months of one another (which it chose not to exercise in the case of Maharashtra and Jharkhand); this can be extended to 12 months.
