Solution
The effects of the criminalisation of politics are:
- Lack of voters’ confidence: Voters lose confidence in democratic electoral processes and decide not to cast votes in elections.
- Glorification of criminals in society: crime and criminals receive validation through money and muscle power, threatening law and order.
- Violence during elections: Candidates with criminal backgrounds opt for violent measures like booth capturing, voter coercion, abduction, etc., to win elections.
