We can state following reasons :

(i) Actually the candidate and party has to win the confidence of more than one caste and community and hardly any parliamentary constituency has a clear majority of one single party.

(ii) It’s not certain that people with the same caste or community have same interests, they may have different interests depending on their economic status and social condition. Thus, caste cannot be a sole factor.

(iii) Regarding voters, they may have more than one candidate from their caste, while other may not have any candidate from their caste.

(iv) Irrespective of caste, voters consider the performance of the government and popularity of the leaders while voting.  

Hence, we can clearly conclude that “caste alone cannot determine election result in India.”

Caste alone can not determine election result in India due to the following reasons:

-the voters have strong attachment to political parties which is often stronger than their attachment to their caste or community.

- people within the same caste or community have different interests depending on their economic conditions.

-rich and poor or men and women from the same caste often vote differently.

- If people were frozen in their preferences then the current sitting MLA's wouldn't lose their seats which nowadays happens quite often.

-people's assessment of the performance of the popularity rating of the leaders matter and are often decisive in elections.
