Elections are held at different places every few months, the effect it has on development work is known to all. This issue needs to be studied and presiding officers can be guiding force for it." PM suggested single voters' list for Lok Sabha, assembly and panchayat polls, says separate lists are waste of resources.
Further, PM asked presiding officers at conference to take innovative measures to spread awareness about Constitution. PM Narendra Modi said, "Our Constitution has many features but a special feature is importance of duties. Gandhi ji was very keen on it. He saw close link between rights and duties. He felt that once we perform our duties, rights will automatically be safeguarded."
Also, PM said, "This day in 2008, terrorists from Pakistan attacked Mumbai. Many including foreign citizens, policemen died. I pay tributes to them. India can't forget those wounds. Today India is fighting terrorism with new policies. I also bow down to our security personnel fighting terror."
