New Delhi: India Inc has pitched for simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections , once every five years, to avoid disruptions and additional costs.Industry bodies Ficci and CII have made separate presentations to the committee headed by former President Ram Nath Kovind. While Ficci is firm in its demand for a single election every five years for Union, state and local governments, CII too has backed the idea, while proposing elections every two-and-a-half years as an alternative plan.“Our ease of doing business is getting significantly constrained by multiple elections at various times at various levels.With multiple codes of conduct for these elections, the inevitable slowdown in decision making by govt hurts business and industry badly. “If no group can claim majority, then mid-term elections should take place only for the remaining term,” Ficci has suggested.The lobby group cited a report by Niti Aayog to argue that in 2014, the model code of conduct resulted in suspension of governance and development activities for nearly seven months. “Private sector is reluctant to invest months before and after the elections. “Simultaneous elections can reduce the overall expenditure incurred on general as well as state legislatures, making it more cost-effective and at the same time there are less days of productive work that are lost due to multiple elections,” CII said.
