Role of regional parties in india at present
Answers
Answer:
In India, regional parties have been coming up at regular intervals playing different roles in the country’s parliamentary democracy. Some parties like the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference were even founded before the country gained independence in 1947. But most of other parties came into existence after country attained freedom.
The growth of state parties, which fall broadly under the rubric of regional parties, picked up particularly after 1967 when the hold of the Indian National Congress, which had spearheaded the freedom struggle, over the country’s electorate began to weaken.
There are about four dozen recognised state parties and about two dozen more which are not yet recognised by the Election Commission of India. At present, some of them are ruling in their respective states and others are waiting for their turn to come to power.
Regional parties have challenged the national parties, gathering popular electoral support, exploiting the national parties’ neglect of the political and economic interests of the region or even the state
