Modi’s slogan of One Nation, One Election is the new distracting tactic

The people elect candidates for a prescribed term: it will be an affront to the people if the term is extended or curtailed.(Representational)

You have to give it to Prime Minister Modi to throw up issues that will distract the attention of the people. He bets on the fact that the Opposition will respond by speaking in multiple voices and not always with irrefutable facts or logic.
