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 get validation in the society with money and muscle power, threatening the law and order situation.
- Violence during elections: Candidates with criminal backgrounds opt for violent measures like booth capturing, voters’ coercion, abduction, etc. to win elections.
- Abuse of political power: Criminals with political connections abuse the power of office for their personal advantage. It leads to an increase in corruption and a decrease in the stature of the public office of a political leader.
