Question

Which of the following is/are considered undemocratic?

• A. The ruling party in centre has lost the assembly elections in five states.
• B. Only followers of state religion have the right to vote.

• D. A single party has been winning elections for five decades by using malpractices.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

A single party has been winning elections for five decades by using malpractices.

Denial of equal voting rights to religious or ethnic minorities is against democratic ideals. In a democracy, all citizens are equal, and each person's vote has the same value. Unfair elections and use of malpractices is a major challenge to democracy. In Mexico, the PRI won consecutive elections and ruled from 1929 to 2000 by using unfair practices.
