Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Political parties can select their candidates in different ways. In India, top leaders choose candidates for elections from their parties. Candidates fight elect elections under party tickets. But this is not the only way to contest elections. Individuals can contest elections as independent candidates too. It is not necessary that an individual needs an established political party backing for contesting elections. The political party secures majority seats in the Parliament, or legislatures can form the government. A coalition government is created if no single party has a majority.
The correct statement is “Candidates can contest elections not only under party tickets but can contest elections as independent candidates too”.
