The BJP-led NDA government took a decisive step towards fulfilling one of its key poll promises, when the Union Cabinet cleared the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal today.

The move comes soon after the completion of 100 days of the NDA 3.0 government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pushed for a single election in his Independence Day address last month.
