Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Candidates who spend a huge amount of money on 'buying votes,' as well as those with criminal ties, frequently lose elections in India. The election's outcome serves as the last check on whether the election was free and fair. In the United States, incumbent or 'sitting' elected officials seldom lose elections. Though if these candidates are arrested or accused of a crime, they are more prone to lose the coming election. About half of India's sitting MPs or MLAs lose their seats in upcoming elections if involved in a scandal or criminal proceeding. Excepting a few disputed elections, the lost party normally accepts the electoral results as the "people's verdict."
