What are the challanges of Free and fare elections in India?
Answers
Explanation:
CHALLENGES TO FREE AND FAIR DEMOCRACY:
(1) Candidates and parties with a lot
of money may not be sure of their
victory but they do enjoy a big and
unfair advantage over smaller
parties and independents.
(2)In some parts of the country,
candidates with criminal connection
have been able to push others out
of the electoral race and to secure a
‘ticket’ from major parties.
(3) Some families tend to dominate
political parties; tickets are
distributed to relatives from these
families.
(4) Very often elections offer little
choice to ordinary citizens, for
both the major parties are quite
similar to each other both in
policies and practice.
(5) Smaller parties and independent
candidates suffer a huge
disadvantage compared to bigger
parties.
