Detailed Solution

The electoral outcomes are not accepted as 'people's verdict' by the defeated party in India- this is not a correct statement. The defeated party typically accepts the election results as the 'vote of the people. This acceptance of election outcomes is a sign of strengthened democracies. Established democracies, including India, face challenges and limitations too. While wealthy candidates and parties may not be sure of winning, they do have a significant and unfair edge over smaller parties and independent candidates. In some regions of the nation, candidates with a criminal history have been able to eliminate rivals and win a 'ticket' from major parties. Tickets are offered to relatives of some families that dominate political parties. Elections frequently give the general public few options because both main parties' ideas and practices are relatively similar. Independent candidates and smaller parties have a significant disadvantage over larger parties.
