BJP talks about One Nation One Election, but needs 7 phases of polling For Parliament elections alone
Parliamentary elections 2024 will be held in 7 phases over 44 days(it was 39 days in 2019 apparently). States like Tamil Nadu which has a very good infrastructure and law and order, undergoes election in a single phase despite having difficult terrains.
I can understand a few states requiring two, or three phases. But anything beyond is just political, for targeted campaigning.
Maharashtra, despite being the richest state, requires 5 phases. UP, their current darling and their example of development, requires 7!
To be noted that Himalayan states like Arunachal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Himachal, Uttarakhand etc and also A&N islands undergo election in a single phase.
