State two reasons to say that caste alone cannot determine election results in India.

Two reasons to say that caste alone cannot determine election results in India are:

(i) In our country, no parliamentary constituency has a clear majority of one single caste. So every candidate and party tries to win the confidence of more than one caste and community. If these parties and the candidate win the confidence of people belongs to various different castes then it is easy for them to win the elections


(ii) It is also true that no party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community. Many political leaders and people refers that a caste is a ‘vote bank’ of one party. This simply means that people from that particular caste or community will vote in a large proportion for that party or that particular candidate
