Question

state two reason to say that caste alone cannot determin election results in india?

Answer 1

(a) No party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community. When people say the caste is a ‘vote bank’ of one party, it usually, means that a large proportion of voters from that caste vote for that, party.
