How does illegal migration impact India's poll mechanism

Rising illegal migration can upset India’s poll mechanism according to Jagdeep Dhankhar.
  • Illegal migration can lead to changes in demographics in certain constituencies, altering the balance of vote banks and potentially influencing election outcomes.
  • It can create social tensions and conflict, especially in areas where resources are already limited.
  • Political parties may exploit the situation to garner support from affected communities or to use the issue as a divisive tool for electoral gains.
  • Illegal migrants may also be influenced or coerced into participating in electoral activities, creating complications in the voting process.
  • The presence of a large population of illegal migrants can undermine the credibility and integrity of the electoral process.
