26 December, 2024; Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh – Esteemed actor and poet Ashutosh Rana recently shared his reflections on the legacy of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee and expressed his support for the proposed ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative.
Speaking about the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Rana described him as a beacon of leadership and literary excellence. “It is a matter of pride and dignity for all of us that we have had a leader who was endowed with literary consciousness and who worked his whole life to give direction and work for the welfare of the country,” Rana said. His statement underlines the former PM’s lasting impact as a statesman and a poet, whose words and policies continue to inspire millions across the nation.
Rana further commented on the idea of simultaneous elections in India, a topic that has garnered significant attention in recent years. Supporting the proposal, he said, “It is a good thing… Elections happen at different times in different parts of the nation, so it will be great if it happens once in five years.” The concept of ‘One Nation, One Election’ aims to streamline the election process by aligning Lok Sabha and State Assembly polls, potentially reducing costs and ensuring better governance.
Ashutosh Rana, known for his thought-provoking perspectives, emphasized the importance of unity and efficiency in a country as diverse as India. His remarks resonate with the growing discourse around reforms that aim to balance tradition with modern governance.
The actor’s comments reflect the deep respect for Vajpayee’s visionary leadership and a forward-looking approach to India’s political and administrative challenges.
