Union Minister Anurag Thakur dismissed the Opposition's criticism over the government calling a special session of parliament from September 18 to 22, saying the government has every right to call such a session
The BJP has been demanding for "one nation, one election" for a long time and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also supported this call, Union Minister Anurag Thakur told NDTV today.
Mr Thakur's comment comes a day after the government released key details of the eight-member committee, led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, to see whether elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies can be held simultaneously.
"What is the problem in holding simultaneous elections? If elections are held simultaneously, it will save time, money and the government can use the saved time to work for the poor, for the development of the nation," Mr Thakur, the Information and Broadcasting Minister, told NDTV.
