Solution
The effects of the criminalisation of politics are:

- 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.
