UTTAR PRADESH, Nov 21: Former President Ram Nath Kovind, who heads the committee to explore the possibility of "one nation, one election", said holding simultaneous polls is in the national interest and has got nothing to do with any particular political party.
"Holding simultaneous elections will be beneficial for the public as the revenue saved will be used for development work," the former President told reporters on Monday night.
"I am requesting all the political parties to cooperate as this is in the national interest. No political party has got anything to do with it," he stressed.
The government constituted the high-level eight-member committee, headed by Kovind, earlier this year.
The former president said, "Many committees such as the parliamentary committee, Niti Aayog, Election Commission of India, and others have said that the tradition of 'one nation one election' needs to be revived in the country."
