Why is asking for votes in the name of religion or caste considered wrong in an election campaign?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it weakens free and issue-based voting

The correct answer is A: it weakens free and issue-based voting. Elections should allow citizens to assess candidates and parties on policies, performance and public issues. Asking for votes mainly by appealing to religion or caste can divide voters and pressure them to choose on group identity rather than considering programmes and qualifications. Option B is wrong because such an appeal does not create the voters’ list. Option C is wrong because delimitation concerns constituency boundaries. Option D is wrong because polling booths are arranged for voting, not created by religious or caste appeals. The concern is not that identity never matters socially; it is that using it as an electoral appeal can damage fair, independent choice. Memory cue: compare policies, not communal or caste pressure.
