Palaniswami on Friday reiterated his support for the concept of ‘One Nation, One Election’. Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan, too, expressed “wholehearted” support for the idea. In a statement, he said conducting the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections at the same time would reduce the government’s expenditures and help in proper utilisation of the security forces. Contending that India was perpetually in “election mode”, with elections happening in one State or the other all the time, he said this affected administration and delayed the State and Union governments’ policy making. But Naam Tamilar Katchi chief co-ordinator Seeman said the idea of ‘One Nation, One Election’ was out of place in a country that had diverse food and clothing habits and culture.
