Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
One major challenge in conducting free and fair elections is that a few candidates win purely on the basis of money and power. Candidates and political parties with a lot of money may not be certain to win, but they have a significant unfair edge over smaller parties and independents. Candidates with criminal affiliations have been able to force others out of the election contest and earn a 'ticket' from major parties in some parts of India. In addition, some powerful families have a stronghold on political parties, and tickets are given to undeserving relatives of these families. Hence, in comparison to larger parties, smaller parties and independent candidates face a significant disadvantage.
