Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. Pressure groups are formed when people with a common interest come together to promote their interests and get them done by creating pressure on administrative and executive entities. Pressure groups are not political entities, but they observe influence in politics. Political parties often take help from pressure groups to drive votes. Pressure groups create a public opinion which can favour parties or turn against them. They lead protests, movements and strikes which influence the public and politics of the country. Some political parties arise from pressure groups, too, like the DMK in Tamil Nadu.
The correct statement is pressure groups do influence politics.
