Question

How has the emergence of regional parties changed the way centre state relations worked in India earlier? class 10 political science

Answer 1

Earlier in India for a long time, same party rules both at centre and states. This meant that state government s did not exercise their rights as autonomous federal units.

But after 1990 there was a rise of regional political parties in many states of the country . This was also era of coalition government at the centre. No single party got clear majority in lok sabha , the major national parties had to enter into an alliance with many parties including several regional parties to form government at the centre.

This led to a new culture of power sharing and respect for the autonomy of the state government
