Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Political parties in India take advantage of the deep-rooted caste system in our society to ensure a sufficient vote bank for themselves to win the elections. A Political party favouring any caste people or an ideology that serves the principles of one community is likely to promote one caste's views, beliefs, and aspirations and ensure its vote bank from the people of that caste. This scenario is common in Indian Politics. Since the population of SC/ST is more in our country, many political parties that want to come to power and have members of SC/ST are trying to encourage more people from SC/ST than other communities and are likely to address and declare their ideologies.
