Recently, President Ram Nath Kovind has called for simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies. He made this state while addressing the joint  sitting of Parliament on the commencement of the Budget Session. So, let's have a brief look at it's feasibility of simultaneous election.

All political parties are preoccupied with local body elections and Assembly elections throughout the year, so less time for developmental work. A system must therefore be evo...
