Streamlining Elections: A Potential Boon for Business

'One nation, one election' policy will reduce donation frequency for businesses, promoting ease and potentially increasing voter turnout by holding elections every five years.

Sunil Bansal, BJP's national general secretary, has highlighted how the 'one nation, one election' initiative could benefit businesses significantly. Businesses would need to contribute only once every five years, simplifying their fiscal responsibilities in supporting electoral campaigns.

Bansal remarked on the common resistance to systemic changes, noting that opposition often comes from those benefiting from current methods. He emphasized that having elections less frequently would introduce fresh opportunities for new leaders and reduce the ongoing economic strain on the country due to frequent elections.

With elections held less often, Bansal believes voter engagement would enhance, as individuals would prioritize casting their votes, knowing each election happens every five years. This change could improve overall democratic participation.
