Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday extended his support to 'one nation, one election' idea proposed by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre.

"Frequent elections affect the pace of development and also damage the spirit of cooperative federalism. The BJD will fully support the idea of 'one nation One election'. There has to be a give-and-take attitude in the larger interest of the country," said Patnaik.
