A group of people who come together to contest elections and hold power in the government is called a political party.
Explanation:
India is the largest democracy of the world. We follow a multi-party system consisting of both national parties and regional parties.
National parties have a nation-wide representation. Their ideology and agenda encompass the whole nation.
Example: Bharatiya Janata Party, Indian National Congress
Not all political parties have a national base or ideology. Sometimes, parties are formed to represent the ideas and opinions of people of a particular region (state) or a caste or religion. These parties may not have a national objective or platform. These are called regional parties.
Example: Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Telugu Desam Party
