Q.7 (3) Criminalisation of politics strengthens democracy.
Best answer
Answer: False.
Criminalisation of politics means persons with criminal records contesting and winning elections, and the use of money and muscle power in politics. Such persons try to influence voters by fear and corruption, so elections do not remain free and fair, and people lose faith in democratic institutions. Hence criminalisation weakens democracy; it is one of the major challenges before Indian democracy.
