Statement: Should there be a cap on maximum number of contestants for parliamentary elections in any constituency? Arguments: Yes. This will make the parliamentary elections more meaningful as the voters can make a considered judgement for casting their vote. No. In a democracy any person fulfilling the eligibility criteria can contest parliamentary elections and there should be no restrictions.

Correct Answer: Both I and II are strong

Explanation:

Clearly, if there were less candidates, the voters would find it easy to make a choice. So, argument I holds. Also, every person satisfying the conditions laid down by the Constitution must be given an opportunity and should not be denied the same just to cut down the number of candidates. So, argument II also holds strong.
