Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently stated that India’s GDP could witness a growth of 1.5% if simultaneous elections are conducted across the country. Sitharaman emphasized that apart from financial resources, there is also a significant waste of human resources due to the frequent conduct of polls. Simultaneous elections would not only result in cost savings but also save time and effort spent on election campaigning. This move could potentially lead to a more stable government and policy continuity, ultimately benefiting the country’s economic growth. Sitharaman’s remarks highlight the potential advantages of synchronized elections in India.
