PM Modi pitched for simultaneous elections, shifting to a Jan- Dec fiscal year | Oneindia News

Prime Minister Narendra Modi batted for conducting simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies and to a January- December fiscal year. Modi held a meeting of the Chief Ministers and the Deputy Chief Ministers of all the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled states at party headquarters in New Delhi. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and party President Amit Shah were also present in the meeting. Addressing the meeting Modi said for long, India had suffered from economic and political mismanagement. "Because of poor time management, many good initiatives and schemes had failed to deliver the anticipated results," he said, adding there is a need to develop robust arrangements that could function amidst diversity. He also called for carrying forward the debate and discussions on holding simultaneous elections to Parliament and state legislatures. On the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Modi asked the states to make legislative arrangements "without delay" for the rollout of the indirect tax regime from July 1. The GST, which will subsume central excise, service tax, Value Added Tax (VAT) and other local levies, is scheduled to be rolled out from July 1.
