Sawant said that the Goa Staff Selection Commission will start recruiting government employees from October.
He supported the `one nation, one election’ proposal, claiming that it will save a lot of time and manpower.
Due to frequent elections, a lot of money is also spent on the election machinery, he told reporters here.
The Union government has constituted a committee headed by former president Ram Nath Kovind to explore the feasibility of `one nation, one election’ system, opening the possibility of early Lok Sabha polls.
