Back then these people used to carry off the ballot boxes, and today they say that these EVMs get hacked.

Mr. Speaker Sir, I want to remind them that Priyanka Gandhi ji says, “Forget the old things,”

We will not talk about old things, we will not talk about old people.

So I want to know that your mother, she is your president and she is the current president.

As for her, look, when she did not have citizenship, when she got citizenship in 1983,

how many years before that she had been casting her vote. So this family of theirs,

this family of theirs that is afflicted with entitlement, Priyanka Gandhi ji should remember this too.

Whether it is your past or your present, all of you… whether it is an EVM

or whether it is written on paper, when there is no kind of propriety in your character,

You people have never, in this country, for its law and order, for the Constitution, ever…

You people have never shown any respect. And, Mr. Speaker, as soon as the NRC came in Bihar,

as soon as the NRC was implemented, our government removed at least more than six million illegal…

Now these votes… all these invalid voter cards, they are not only of infiltrators.

Some are people who have migrated, and some are people who do not even exist in this world.

More than six million. And if those people were genuine, then at least someone should have made a request

that “Brother, my voter ID has been canceled.” After that, they issued twenty-one new voter IDs.

And such an atmosphere was created in Bihar that the highest voting till date took place, 67% voting,

this enthusiasm arose among the citizens that such a cleansing process should indeed happen.

As a patriot, Mr. Speaker, I would like to propose this

that in our country, what happens is after every month or two our top leadership,

all our officials, and all our resources, we end up pushing them into elections every month or two.

This causes a very heavy loss to our country. And I would like there to be One Nation, One Election.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, that a single voting process, as a festival of democracy,

just like Diwali, like Holi, should be celebrated in that way. Because it is not only a loss for the government,

the loss of more than ten thousand crore is not the only thing. But I feel that gradually our citizens too,

they experience voting fatigue, having to be made aware again and again, again and again at many places where they work

From there they have to travel to their native places, and do marketing again and again, it is exhausting for the whole ecosystem.

So I want to propose that One Nation, One Election should be introduced, and that all the inconveniences we face because of this

having elections every month or two, we can be saved from that.
