Detailed Explanation by Teachoo
Let’s check all the statements
- Statement i: Representatives of different castes and tribes. By including representatives of different castes and tribes, a political party can show its commitment to social justice and equality, and can also gain the trust and votes of these groups. These groups are often marginalized or discriminated against in society, so a political party that wants to form a government needs to have their support. Thus, this statement is right to answer the question. This statement is correct .✅
- Statement ii: Representatives of all religions. By including representatives of all religions, a political party can show its respect for secularism and tolerance, and can also avoid communal conflicts and violence. The country is diverse and pluralistic in terms of religion, so a political party that wants to form a government needs to respect this diversity and ensure that no religious group feels alienated or oppressed. This statement is correct .✅
- Statement iii: Representatives of the elite. By including representatives of the elite, a political party can show its bias towards the rich and powerful, and can also lose the support and confidence of the masses. The common people are the majority in the country, and they have the right to vote and participate in politics. A political party that wants to form a government needs to represent their interests and aspirations, not those of the elite. This statement is incorrect❌
- Statement iv: Representatives of the Non-residents of India (NRI). By including representatives of the NRI, a political party can show its disregard for domestic affairs, and can also face criticism and opposition from the voters. The citizens who live in the country are the ones who face the issues and problems that need to be addressed by the government. A political party that wants to form a government needs to focus on these issues and problems, not those of the NRI. This statement is incorrect❌
Thus, option (a) is correct because it includes the only statements that will be considered by a political party while forming a government.
