Detailed Solution

This statement is true. Caste affects politics in India in the following ways:

During the election, political parties choose their candidates, keeping in mind the caste composition of the electorate. They nominated candidates from different castes to get the maximum votes to win the election.

When the government is formed, and ministers are appointed, political parties usually take care that representatives of different castes find a place in it.

Political parties and candidates in elections make emotional appeals to caste people to gain support.

The principle of one person, one vote forces political leaders to mobilise public support in the name of caste.
