Who Conducted Elections Simultaneously One Nation One Election

The concept of "One Nation, One Election" is not new. In fact, as experts point out, it is as old as our Constitution.The concept of simultaneous elections for both the Parliament and the states in India dates back to the adoption of the Constitution in 1950. From 1951 to 1967, elections to the Lok Sabha (Parliament) and all state assemblies were held simultaneously every five years. This practice was followed during the elections in 1952, 1957, 1962, and 1967.

Knotted Rahul TimesNow Interview Runs For Cover

If ever there was an interview where the interviewed huffed, Hawed, Ducked slipped ,tied himself in knots and landed with egg all over, I would rate Rahul Gandhi's Interview with Arnob Gosawmi of TimesNow News Channel on 27 January at 9 pm in Newhour.

If Karan Thapar was nailed black and blue by Jayalalithaa when he interviews her, when she bluntly told him that she did not like the way he conducted the Interview and tht it definitely was not a pleasure for her to interact with hi,

Please read my post with Video on this.

Now Arnob Gosawmi fired bullets after bullets to Rahul Gandhi and he was left with no clue at all.

On the issue of Gujarat Riots,when Gosawmi asked him the rationale behind Congress attacking Narendra Modi after the Courts had given Modi a clean chit in the Gujarat Riot case, all Rahul could say was, totally irrelevant of course, that the Congress believed in Empowerment of women, taking democracy to grass-roots and about the six Bills pending in the parliament to root out corruption!

I counted the number of times Gosawmi asked Rahul about Modi.

Six times and he got the same answer.

Then Arnab switched over to the killing of the Sikhs after the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984.

Reference was also made to Rahul Gandhi's speech about his controlling his anger at his grandmother's killing.

Asked why the Congress did not take any action against Jagdish Tytler,HKL Bhagat and others for inciting the violence against the Sikhs, all Rahul could say he wanted law to take its own course.

When reminded that the same people were to be given tickets and were denied after media uproar Rahul went into Empowerment story!
