Next assembly-elections should be simultaneously held with LS

Dear Editor,
Ruling BJP, central government, Election Commission and many others are continuously advocating, and rightly too, for simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and all state-assemblies, but without any solution or will-power to implement the much-needed reform. If central government and ruling BJP are sincerely eager in implementing the decision, then either Lok Sabha elections should be preponed to be held with assembly-elections for Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to be held some time in January 2019. Rather any further assembly-elections due to be held later in the year 2019 can also be held simultaneously by cutting short their terms.
Or alternately terms of state-assemblies in the four states of Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan can be increased by few months to hold their elections simultaneously with Lok Sabha elections in May 2019. System should be to auto increase or decrease in terms of state-assemblies upto one year so that any elections to state-assemblies may be held simultaneously only once in a year.
