Answer 1

Hint: Political parties try to focus public attention on some big issues in election campaigns. They want to draw the public’s attention to that issue and get them to vote for their party on that basis.

Complete answer:
To give people a chance to choose their representatives, the policies and the government they prefer is the main purpose of election. Thus, it is necessary to have an open and free discussion about which party will make a better government, who is a better representative, or what is a good policy. During election campaigns, this is what happens. Such campaigns take place for a two-week period in our country between the announcement of the final list of candidates and the date of polling. The political leaders address election meetings, candidates contact their voters, and political parties mobilize their supporters during this period. Also in this period television news or media and newspapers are full of election-related debates and stories. But political parties start preparing for elections months before they actually take place and thus election campaigns are not limited to these two weeks only.
Many slogans are given by politicians in election campaigns. N. T. Rama Rao, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh Assembly gave such a slogan in the 1983 elections which is ‘Protect the Self-Respect of the Telugus’.
Therefore, option (C) is correct.

Note: In a democracy, it is best to leave candidates and political parties free to conduct their election campaigns the way they want to. But to ensure that every candidate and the political party gets a fair and equal chance to compete, it is sometimes necessary to regulate campaigns. Thus, election laws have been made, in addition to these laws, political parties also follow a Model Code of Conduct.
