Two reasons are as given below.:
(i) No parliamentary constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. Thus, to win in a constituency, a candidate has to secure votes of other castes and communities. Caste plays an important role but voters of other castes and communities are equally important for a candidate to win in the election.
(ii) No party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community because sometimes there are more than one candidate of the same caste fighting ‘election’ on the ticket of different parties or as an independent candidate. When we speak of ‘vote bank’, it only implies that a particular party or candidate may secure maximum votes of a caste or community” Thus, caste alone cannot determine election results in India’
