Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When political parties choose candidates to contest elections in an area, they consider the caste composition and trend in that area or society. They observe the caste composition of the electorate and then nominate their candidates from different castes to get more support among the voters. They rage against the caste sentiments among the people and use them to muster voters' support for their political parties. Some political parties favour specific castes and, thus, represent them in the political arena. Similarly, some political parties nominate those candidates who belong to the same caste the majority of the voters belong to so that the voters consider them as their genuine representatives and elect them.
