There are 2 key elements: at least 4.5 yrs to focus on governance: and take real democracy to the final point of governance at local level with sufficient budget and accountability.
ONOE is indeed an important milestone in growing democracy, making every citizen down to the remote village owing responsibility for life in a society. Need educated debates, on various strategies of the writer, not hooliganism of the current parliament of crows and howlers.
The main point in favor of ONOE that Jaggi illustrates in this article is for stability of tenures that is elected governments having enough time to work without having to think at their back every 6 months. But this can be easily resolved by having the Vote of No confidence to work only if a Vote of confidence is present for other group in legislature that is positive vote of no confidence just like Germany. Besides we can synchronize current multiple state election cycles into 2 to 3 cycles. The other issue of MCC is that why does MCC apply on every arm of government when their is an election , it can be reduce to be applicable on that arm of government only of which elections are taking place. Duration of MCC can also be reduced by Categorising MCC into grades, like MCC Grade 1 with less restrictions will be applicable at declaration of election after that 10 days before Grade 2 with more restrictions, and Grade 3 with full restrictions 5 days before election date. The point is why these alternate strategies instead of ONOE. Because ONOE first of all ONOE will not entail in stability of government as said in this article, as seen in this article if a government falls the ensuing midterm government will result in excessive rent seeking or spulrging seeing the history of short lived governments, They will try to maximize spending in that 1 year or 2 year time frame.
Major Security Cons of ONOE
The staggered election cycle in India has ensured that no alien poweres through misinformation campaigns can change the power structure of whole country at a single time.
The change of all governments at a single time generates a power vacuum.
The staggered election cycles keeps opposition poles engaged and not some lost out child for five years ensurign stability to political architecture of the country.
What we need to ensure stability ?
1. Positive Vote of No Confidence
2. Sate Eelction Tenure of 8 years.
3. Municipal bodies should be given more powers (the best which can happen), a third list in the constitution besides concurrent, state, union and Local List(Janpad).
quite amazing arguments without getting into the basics. The overwhelming complaint and to some extent true also is centre is usrping the powers of states through governers and now the suggestion is to handover governors full control when the elected government falls till the next scheduled date of election. No one till now seems to have questioned why the PM has to canvass all through the elected period in one or another election, when is holding a constitutional position and responsibility to rule the country. Let the individual state leaders manage their state elections and we have unwavered attention of all others on governance throughout the full period. :Lastly, are we in a position to hold election in one go, when we are having seven phases spanning over more than one and half month for single election? Let us first solve this, so that the entire country need not in limbo for 3 months once in five years.

I rest my case.
It is very difficult to believe anything that BJP brings. The new scheme may be good, but it’s implementaion by BJP usually turns very bad.
