Detailed Solution

All of the above statements are the challenge(s) to free and fair elections.
The elections in India are fraught with various difficulties. Candidates and parties who have a lot of money have a significant edge over those parties that have less money. This advantage is unjust. Candidates having links to criminal organisations have been successful in driving other candidates from the election contest and in obtaining a ticket from major political parties. Tickets are given out to those who are related to the winners by their families. Ordinary folks have very few options to choose from when it comes to elections since the big parties are so ideologically and practically similar to one another.
When compared to larger parties, smaller parties and independent candidates are put in a difficult position and incur significant disadvantages.
