Detailed Solution

Elections trigger a range of political rivalries:
(a) Competition to form the government among different political parties
(b)Competition among various ideologies and policies of different political parties.
(c) At the levels of a constituency, elections take the form of competition among many candidates.
(d) Sometimes, elections compete among top leaders of various parties that take the shape of a personality race.
Different political groups and leaders frequently level allegations against one another. To win elections, political parties and politicians utilise dirty techniques. All these reasons force certain well-minded people who want to serve the country to stay away from politics. They despise the concept of being drawn into unhealthy competitive situations. Electoral competition thus has many demerits.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are true. But Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
