The members of the party also had a detailed interaction with the HLC in which the party pledged its support to the concept of One Nation, One Election.

Posting on social media platform X, JP Nadda stated that the delegation highlighted that the elections being held at various levels and at different times affect administration and good governance, put a financial burden on the government and the parties, and also involve large-scale deployments of security forces and administrative personnel, hampering their regular functioning.

“We have recommended that changes be made to the Representation of the People Act through consensus, and there should be one photo ID card and one voters’ list, valid for elections at all levels,” tweeted Nadda.
