Earlier on Monday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reiterated his support for the One Nation, One Election proposal, asserting that frequent elections lead to instability and obstruct national development.

Addressing a state-level conference on the One Nation, One Election campaign, Adityanath said, ‘Frequent elections in democracy put unnecessary pressure on the public, create political instability, hinder possibilities of development in the country and encourage corruption in public life.’

He added that political stability is crucial for progress.

‘Political stability is the first condition for peace, the first condition for security, and the first condition for development, and for that political stability, there should not be frequent elections,’ he said.

Adityanath further stated that frequent elections impact the GDP and halt the growth rate.
