      • In 1996, the\u00a0Representation of the People Act, 1951,<\/strong>\u00a0was amended which restricted the number of seats one candidate could contest in one election to two constituencies. And whenever they have won more than one, the candidates have retained only one, forcing\u00a0bypolls\u00a0in the rest.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • In 1991 Lok Sabha Election,\u00a0Shri Devi Lal contested from three Lok Sabha constituencies<\/strong>. (Although such information need not be remembered by students, it can be validated by eliminating other statements).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n

In every case, the\u00a0Election Commission of India (ECI) bears the cost of elections\/bye-elections in all the constituencies<\/strong>\u00a0in Lok Sabha and assembly elections as well.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
