मुक्त और निष्पक्ष चुनावी प्रतिस्पर्धा
In this Class 9 Civics topic from “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students examine why elections must provide voters with a genuine choice among competing parties and candidates. They learn how clear rules, equal opportunities, regular elections, secret ballots, and independent oversight help make electoral competition fair. The topic also explains how excessive money power, intimidation, unfair use of government resources, or restricted participation can weaken democracy, while meaningful competition makes elected representatives more accountable to citizens.

View question detailsA fair election must give all contestants a genuine and equal opportunity. The ruling party controls public offices and may have access to government resources, publicity, or official influence. If it is allowed to break rules or misuse these advantages, the contest is no longer equal. Applying the same election rules to the ruling party helps prevent unfair benefit from state power. Therefore, option A is correct.
The rule does not mean that the opposition should be stopped, voters should be frightened, or the result should be decided in advance. It means that the party in power must obey the same limits as every other contestant. Public resources should not be used as a private campaign tool, and official authority should not be used to pressure voters. Equal rules protect free choice and make the result more trustworthy.
