Solution
Communal Trends in Voting:
The voters are not above communal or religious prejudices. Very often the Muslims, the Sikhs, the Christians, and other communities vote along communal lines. The Hindus are divided into numerous caste groupings. Unfortunately, caste has become a significant factor in electoral politics. Rural India needs forward-looking leaders to take the reins of Panchayati Raj institutions in their hands.
