Do you think elections in a democratic country like India are free and fair ???
"free and fair" are relative terms, the meaning of which needs to be defined. In the 1950s, Joe Stalin was routinly reelected in the Soviet Union by a whopping 98 percent.
When Aldolf Hitler came to power in 1933, do you think all that was "free and fair"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_federal_election,_March_1933
What I am saying, without some compass to define free and fair, they question you pose is a useless exercise to comment on.
