Ten states and the centre might go for the general elections by this year-end. These are latest rumours that are getting circulated in Delhi. Politicians say that the BJP has alerted the parties that are sailing with them to get ready for the same. The whole idea is to take on the opposition without giving them proper time and space for regrouping.
The elections commission is already gearing up for the same it is learnt. In the name of saving money and time, the Modi Government has earlier suggested the idea of going for the simultaneous polls and the BJp under Amit Shah has already started the Sampark yatra.
People used to say that next two terms Modi would be in power. But the scenario is altogether different now. The BJP is losing all the by-polls day in and day out. If this continues the BJP base will erode further.
Taking this into serious account the BJP has decided to go in for simultaneous and it would be like a snap poll. 2000 crores have already been earmarked for the election commission for the conduct of the early and simultaneous polls it is learnt. If they go as per schedule the next year will have to be dedicated for the Assembly polls now and then. Instead, all the Assembly polls that is for about 10 states and the centre the elections would be early by this year end at a time. But the reactions of the respective states have to be taken before coming to a decision.
