the outcomes of india's election speak for itself.justify
Answers
The following are the reasons in support of this statement:
1. The ruling bodies routinely lose polls in India both at the state and national levels.
2. Moreover, in each two out of the three polls taken in the last fifteen years, the ruling body lost.
3. Nominees who are known to have employed a lot of capital on ‘buying votes’ and those with associated criminal relationships often lose votes.
4. Excluding very few disputed polls, the constituent results are usually received as ‘people’s verdict’ by the defeated group.
One final test of the free and fair of election has in the outcome itself. If elections are not free or fair, the outcome always favours the powerful. In such a situation, the ruling parties do not lose elections. Usually, the losing party does not accept the outcome of a rigged election.
The outcome of India’s elections speaks for itself:
The ruling parties routinely lose elections in India both at the national and state level. In fact, in every two out of the three elections held in the last fifteen years, the ruling party lost.
In the US, an incumbent or ‘sitting’ elected representative rarely loses an election. In India, about half of the sitting MPs or MLAs lose elections.
Candidates who are known to have spent a lot of money on ‘buying votes’ and
those with known criminal connections often lose elections.
Barring very few disputed elections, the electoral outcomes are usually accepted as ‘people’s verdict’ by the defeated party.
